Current commute is 13 miles each way. If I take the motorway, I can get 30mpg on the way to work, and 30-33mpg on the way back. But there's usually 50/60mph restrictions along the whole way.

If I take the A-road, I struggle to better 27mpg and sometimes make 22mpg.  :evilgrin:

25.3mpg 6 miles stop start with 5 mins of on off motorway.
 :sick:
Can improve with no aircon, heated seats, subwoofer left in garage and a judicious use of cruise control on longer stretches of road.

Often thought about taking a longer route to work utilising the motorway more and allowing cruise control most of the way to see if it made any real difference  :wink:

The Missus generally gets about 28mpg, 8 miles of a mix of either windy B roads or M/way and town driving.

I generally use about 0.05mm of shoe leather. :happy2:
