I did the most boring economy run on the thou, trying my hardest to squeeze every em pee gee out of it.
Stuck below 55-60 on the motorway, used only 1-3-6 gears, and didn't rev over 4k.
80 miles, and it only managed 55mpg :'(
Am I expecting too much?
maybe try it again but at a faster pace and be gentle on the throttle

And try using 2,4 and 5th gear too, so you're not having to over open the throttle on those slight inclines fazer mentions
