It must be downhill there and uphill on the way back as on the way there I got over 39mpg (imp) with an average speed of over 70mph. All in comfort mode mainly with cruise set to about 85mph indicated (82/83mph GPS).

On the way back the overall average speed dropped to about 67mph and the mpg dropped to 33mpg though there was less cruise and more slowing down/speeding up due to traffic and I have a heavy right foot not to mention the mad French drivers who pull out without looking in their mirrors first making me slow down in the first place .

I love my 40D, doing over 500 miles without stopping and so comfortable with the comfort seats up front.

I even managed to get the predicted range to go over 700 miles for the first time ever on that trip.

Love it!!
