I normally zero it when I get on the motorway. I normally have a 2 hour plus motoway journey. I get up to 38mpg but when I get to my destination it drops after a bit of town driving to around 32-33. On the motorway speed does not seem to make much difference between 70-85 but puting on criuse at 50 for the roadwords (15 miles) get it right up to 36-37.

Not bad for a 3.0 v6 auto in sports mode ;D

According to computer, I am currently getting 26.3mpg over the last 500 miles from my 3.0l auto.

Over short distances (ie, less than 20m) I have been known to average single figures ::)

I had a weekend away in the lake district and did just over 600 miles in the 3 days shows an Ave. of 34.2 most of it was motorway driving with cruise on 75 in eco mode so not bad for 3.0 . I had rover 75 diesel before that and got bout 48 on a m way run and before that rover 75 2.0 v6 and got bout 34 so the 3.0 is very good when you consider that.
Over an 1,800 mile holiday to south of France, my mv6 3.0l auto averaged 33mpg, which I am very happy with :)

2.5 petrol Auto - Just short trips of around 1.5 miles each (taking the missus to work and back). Past 30 miles or so i've averaged 12mpg :-( which seems about right to me.
