45mpg from my last full tank in my 2.1TD Pug 406 with mixed driving.
Don't think thats bad really, I expected about 35mpg average when I got it. Certainly saving me money, as my MR2 was averaging about 27mpg with the same use.

One tank I did 38mpg in the DC2, it was cruising at 65mph on motorway for just about all of it. 
I managed 36mpg in my EP3 as well, and numerous people suggested it wasn't possible unless I was driving like a granny
Defiantly not driving like a granny, its just too addictive.

41mpg from my VXR over a 200 mile trip along NSL roads. 31MPG over 2000miles of mixed driving.
My MX5 is awful. I drove this tank like a saint to see if it made any difference and nope, still 25mpg. Almost all stop start short urbanish journeys, but no matter how I drive, it's 25mpg. Managed 32 on a 250mile journey once.
Least when I move to something bigger the fuel bill won't kill me

My Fiesta ST is terrible for short trips. You're talking 25MPG or less if I drive it spiritedly. Anything slightly longer and I get 30-35+ easily though. Just depends on the car and the situation.

Chaps, we're missing something here. It's a 14yo CLK so it's probably shed half it's weight in rust.

My 30 year old 944 does 30mpg happily.
Unexpected, but logical given the relatively modern injection system and the lack of any power sapping emmision control.

You would think so wouldn't you, but actually someone had it treated in the past and resprayed, so there is only one minor patch on the front wing
