I would say that's a decent figure, if from a manual just above average, if an auto then it's doing well.
My 2.6 manual gets up to 32 mpg realistically and can go down very low when it wants  ;D

55.3 MPG ( but then again it is a 1.6 Diesel Citroen) but does have the load capacity only marginally smaller than an Omega Estate! :)

I'm not telling because it reveals my driving style ::) Mind you, I was running a bit late getting to Cambridge this morning and managed to improve it to 23mpg average :-X

The trouble with LPG is that you don't worry as much! ;D

Indeed, my last tank, including a run to Nottingham on Saturday, was 17mpg. I was, as usual, fashionably late ::)

3.0 MV6 estate
25.6 mpg averaged over the last 500 miles.

That's mainly 10-15 mile trips on 30 and 40 roads with the odd motorway stretch (at 60!), and carrying 200-300kgs of books on the return trip

Should add... The was the MID reading (which is accurate on petrol) so probably around 17-18mpg on LPG ::) ::)
