city seem about right but m/way seems a bit low. my 8v does about 40mpg cruising at 70-80.

I'm guessing thats where the 16v is getting a bit "cammy", so the HP is starting to build rapidly from that point??  My 8v's used to do about 40 at motorway speeds too.

I get 24 mpg on the journey to work, 5 miles of stop start stuff. Country/motorway journeys are around 35+ though...

Mine does about 30 around town and 34 on a spirited country road session using almost all of the rev range. I havent done many motorway miles yet

Never reset my figures and have had the car over 3 years now. Current reading is 31.7 mpg

Thats a mixture of driving and I always thrash it when I can!

something very wrong...

Just done a trip to Northampton and back (166 miles). Driving like a wet sissy I was up to 43 mpg... then the roadworks finished. Finished the trip at 36.4...

Bit of 8v input...... over a distance of 1485 miles, it's averaging 31.8mpg.

And with refence to driving style, if I'm not braking the accelerator is flat to the floor.
