Anyone else getting better economy than me?
Hi. What model/tyres do you have and what's your 'normal' driving routine?

My 3D has only just done 2k miles since May and I now get 36MPG on a mix of short cross country runs and motorways.
Not even run in yet but superior to my previous 3D which was 32MPG.

I also have the 20" tyre/wheels which I guess reduce the rolling resistance and so impact MPG.
