Had to run up to Coventry toady M1/M6 and at an average of 85mph she returned 31.8mpg :)
But round here localy (all the bloody roundabouts) she is sucking 16.8mpg at slow and consertive driving! ::)
Was kinda surprised by this as it goes twice as far at speed on the motorway, than it does snailing it round MK. Thats a drastic difference aint it! ;D

Same with me when i Travel on the Motorway to work (about 55 Miles a day) it does about the same as yours, as soon as swmbo wants to go down town or shopping then Hey Presto Engine turns into a Petrol guzzeling Monster

its all down to driving styles.....i get more from the 3.0 than the wife gets from her 2.5cdx.
Rather worried about it i took the 2.5 on a very long run on similar roads/same average spseeds etc - and also managed to get better mpg than the wife...

The trouble with MK is always accelerating or braking, no cruising, thats what sucks the juice. Mines the same.

I do alot of pootling around town and average about 21 mpg 16.8 does seem rather low :-/

MK is a strange city, and its all 70mph dual carrageway (for the most part), with roundabouts every half mile. So it really is accelerating/braking, no cruising at all.

Just thought I would mention that writing on a public forum an admission of speeding may not be the wisest move! Are you sure you wern't doing 69mph after all?
