Sounds about right. I've never got better than 24mpg (measured, not DIS).

Traffic was a factor...Also between Beds & Bucks (8+ miles) roadworks with 50mph speed limit enforced by average speed cameras...
So cruise control is set at 50mph between roadworks which can only push up economy rate...Hence 23mpg!!

Driving upto West Yorkshire tommorow (360 mile round trip) Scouts honour will abide by all road and traffic regulations :biggrin3:
