Only if you literally empty the tank bone dry.
£60 worth of fuel as he stated won't empty the tank these days.
You're looking at something like 45l for £60 (~135ppl), so 400 miles on 45l of fuel is pretty much bang on 40MPG.
You'd need to be using about £72 or £73 worth of fuel for a 400mile trip to be giving you 34mpg.
Yeah i need to find that petrol station if it fills the quoted tank for £60....
Calculated when I had my 1.8t Golf MK4, APR remap for 95 ron fuel.
30-34mpg around town
Maybe hes using the bypass that goes around the town?

'Around town' is stop-start, cold starts, etc. You are not going to be getting 34mpg from a turbo petrol engine in those conditions. Heck thats what I get from a 320d in those conditions!
