I was going through a tank every 300 miles which was mostly town driving when commuting in it

Averaging 27.42 on mine. Min 25, max 30. Gets a mix of driving. I reckon 27 is about right for town. 25 for a hoon. 30 for easy motorway cruising.

That's not too bad. I was getting around 20-25 on my daily commute in traffic, then about 30-35 on the motorway if I was taking it easy. Getting 25-30 in the Meg on the same commute and have managed 42mpg driving to Combe last weekend, and it was still going up when I got off the motorway so I'd love to know what it would be capable of on a really long run!

Not much more. Being french, its immanently going to break down in a horrendously catastrophic way and will never even make 1mpg ever again

My 6 was 90% motorway and achieved regularly around 370-430 miles without playing the red fuel light lottery. Gave her daily spankings too. They are pretty good if healthy and looked after

New record. 47 litres brim to brim, 377 mi: 36mpg. All motorway at 70-80mph.
Deadly boring, but nice to know it's no worse than my 1.4 under similar conditions. Migh revise thoughts on swapping it for an HDi.

most I ever got was 465miles off a full tank... never bothered working out mpg and nor do I remember what I paid for the fuel...
