I normally get between 29-33 mpg driving normally, but obviously it depends on what roads you're on how fast you going etc. I think most people are getting similar. I did find that mine did improve a bit after it was run in so I wouldn't worry there.

I get about 28-29 when driving in an urban area, but that's driving reasonably sensible, but not too much! I can get about 32 when really making an effort, but if i drive how i want then i'm struggling to get more than 25mpg!

A handy guide for you all

<25mpg - You obviously require a faster car
26mpg - 29mpg - The ST suits you fine
30mpg+ - You need a slower car cos you ain't pushin it

Do you like the gansta talk at the end? Ain't me at all.
How does people talk like this. It is not shizzlin, ait!

Well... yesterday was the first time I'd worked it out properly in ages, and I got 274 miles out of a tank between refuelling, using 42.5 litres (so roughly 29mpg). Given this was all almost exclusively motorway driving and wasn't holding back at times, I thought was not bad really.

Slightly more than that. It has a 45 litre tank which equates to about 9.9 gallons.

Hmmmm... i get about 22MPG... maybe red lining every gear does'nt do much for fuel consumption! Or it could be going max speed on the autobahn that does it? lol
