After 3 years and 10,500 miles on the clock, I decided to do a check on my fuel economy on a 350 mile round trip last weekend.

I was quite pleased with 52mpg !

(4/4 Sport 1.6 Sigma standard spec, 2 people + luggage. Driving without hood, but with side screens, starting with a full tank of fuel).

It was a steady trip on all types of road, no heroics but not particularly trying to drive economically (could have been more careful if I tried). Encountered some standing traffic too with the engine running all the while.

Anyone done better than that ?
(I reckon it should be good for 55mpg if I was a bit more careful.)
