My average is normally 31/32..
I do a mix of driving but mainly motorway (although over the moors to get the motorway).
I can drive from home (Oldham) to my GFs (Castleford, Leeds) on the motorway and average around 38 for that trip at a steady pace (Try and keep under 80/85)
I do notice that my car doesnt get to 90 on longer motorway trips?
Using standard fuel but car could probably use a service.

I'm about a 30-ish average, 42-44 on the motorway if I james may it. Around town its horrendous, but thats mainly down to how addictive my popping, banging and farting exhaust sounds on overun.

Looked this morning. 33.6 after 4,512 miles.

Quite happy with that, pretty much all long runs which help that figure though.

Managed 42 mpg the other on the way into Notts, but other than that its mid to high 30s on M'way and low to mid 20s in town. Barely goes past 20 on the way to and from work cause its 1.7 miles each way  :wink:

Should see somewhere in the region of 250 - 300 miles to the tank. Break that down properly and that's 20.66 - 24.8 mpg in the real world. Don't take your mfa reading as gospel fellas!

That's why I said a average over thousands of miles.
