Tom. Let me put it this way to you.
You get 51 MPG, driving like a granny and making yourself hate the car and yourself, the more you think about MPG, the more you try to improve it, and you get into a circle of boring driving and being too paranoid about your MPG.

I get, on average, 42-45 MPG. I drive as hard as I want to, boot it when i feel like it, play around, hoon through tunnels, and ALWAYS get out of my car with a f*cking huge grin on my face.

You say you do 300 miles a week?
300 miles at 51.08 MPG is (assuming you pay 1.40/litre) £37.38
300 miles at 43.05 MPG is (assuming you pay 1.40/litre) £44.34
The difference? £6.96

So If I told you that for £7 a week, you would love your car, stop caring about MPG and start enjoying things more?
And I drive a full fat stage 2. I doubt you'd get down to 43 MPG, you're more likely to see 45-46.

Now go and work out the cost of depreciation, the extra insurance, and the slight gain in MPG you *may* see from any other car you like, and you'll hopefully see why you need to stop worrying and just drive.

Peace.
