How many miles on yours mate? Mine is on 5000 miles. As an experiment today on a 10 mile stretch of 'A' road (a little hilly implaces, I drove in 'D', normal setting, and literally tried to just rest my foot on the gas ever so slightly and keep it breezing along at about 55 mph - no junctions, no traffic lights, no heavy traffic - I could get it to 31mpg, but this dropped as soon as I hit my village and had junctions, hills and parking, and then first time I overtook something (not at crazy pace) it started heading back down to 29mpg...

Highly frustrating! Especially as fuel hit £1.40/l today in my area...
