An honest 40-41MPG out of a 1.9JTD SUV Fiat Sedici. I can get it to 48-50MPG if I drive like Miss Daisy and as low as 38mpg if I thrash the butt off it.

All in all it has 120bhp and six gears and does the job ok. Pretty happy as a family with it.
 
Hard to tell as I also moved house but my Fuel economy seems to have gone up since moving to F1AS2 from a variety of Bridgestones. A lot of the reviews have the rolling resistance as best in class for the F1AS2.

Pressures are the same as I get them checked every day ( we have a funky tyre gauge that measures pressures as you drive over it and texts you the results ).
 
I have to add even thrashing the backside off my diesel I only get to 60mph just over 11 seconds, probably closer to 13.

How I would love a return to petrol performance. Maybe one day.

Haha wow, how on earth does that work? sounds totally awesome?

Edit - the pressure guage that is!?

An update
So my first full fill up to one click, fully used, then refilled back to one click.

Actual petrol used : 49.06 litres
Miles : 500.4
Actual MPG : 46.37

The computer estimate is pretty close :)

F20 1 Series, 118i, Petrol.

This graph is pretty useful whilst driving.
It shows your MPG over a set time period (in this case 32 mins, 4 mins per bar), the driving mode you were in and along the bottom it shows when you stopped & started. The line going through is average MPG since 0 miles :)

I get 60-65mpg from my 1.5L Petrol Auto.:D

I do normal speeds, but on the motorways I tend to do 60-65mph. Drive is a mix, probably 60/40 in favour of motorways (in terms of miles, not time ! ):D
 
Update...

New car, new MPG. Fiesta ST 2.0

Around 26MPG. Short trips and driven with a heavy right foot more often than not and lots of AC.

I'm happy with that :D

I'll see what the Yaris does this weekend on it's brand new CS5's. First impressions looked good, it reported 58mpg on the fairly hilly 15 mile drive back from the garage. Last time it was around 52.

Driving up to Bath and back, so should get an accurate reading (and a manual one)
 
First decent run in the new XFS returned 46.8 mpg the return of that journey with stop start and queuing traffic showed 43.7 so not bad at all for a car with just over 200 miles on the clock when that started...
 
My new E39 530i Sport auto is getting 28MPG so far over this tank. Quite happy with that.
 
For the lifetime of the ownership from new I'm now at around 46.3mpg - considering I live in London that's not too bad. This is only 45k miles in 2 years though so not a huge amount of mileage.

That's not much better than my Focus ST!

I did my first long round trip from Newcastle to Liverpool and back on Wednesday and managed 35MPG, climbing to 37MPG after a fill-up and driving like Miss Daisy :p
 
Generally get around 38-41 to on my normal runs/trips to work etc. Its a journey all split between A roads which can either flow nicely or driving steadily in traffic and a bit of general town driving. I get the same on the motorway as well.
 
I'd want it to be even more economical than that before it's worth putting up with it.

You've covered barely 3500 miles in 6 months, so the savings would strike me as not even beginning to be worth it compared to driving something actually nice :p
 
Went to Middlesbrough and back a couple of weeks ago. 480 mile round trip and got there and back...on one tank :eek:

Wasn't a lot left mind, but I was very impressed, onboard trip computer said I averaged at 42mpg there and back. Very impressed with the car!

Why would I possibly want to drive something "nice" to work, only to make a mess of it.
I could drive something nice, but I'd have to either cover the seat and the seat belt every day or get changed before and after work each day....
It's a 13 mile trip, four roundabouts, a section of Motorway and 3 T-Junctions. Half of which I'm probably still half asleep on. ;)

To me it's the cheapest possible way to get to work outside of cycling (which I do when it's dry)
What exactly is there to "put up with"
The steering wheel turns lightly, the seats are comfy, the pedals are light, the stereo works, the windows wind down, the visibility is good, the brakes are positive, it sticks to the road well..

OMGZ the diesel noise!!!! err no, I don't need to wear ear defenders to drive it.
OMGZ the lack of acceleration.. err no, it keeps up with traffic on or off the Motorway absolutely fine
