24-26mpg here, which is mainly country roads so it does get some stick.

Raven, the OBC mpg figure will fluctuate because it is meant to. If you take it out on a motorway and do 30mpg for 20 minutes, your average will rise.

The needle under the rev counter is meant to tell you what you mpg is at that moment. If you stick cruise control on at 70mph on a hilly dual carriageway you'll soon see what is going on :unsure:

The only realistic test is to fill up to the brim and reset the trip. Do this every time and see how many miles you are getting from a tank. Working out fuel economy by seeing how far you go on £20 is a waste of time since fuel costs can vary widely.

Haha, we have seen the way you drive at the pod and its no surprise your getting that much! I bet you havent even found 5/6th gear yet, plus the wind resistance from driving round with your mirrors up will loose at least another 3-4MPG :D
