Highly frustrating! Especially as fuel hit £1.40/l today in my area...

5600 miles on the clock since new (December 2010) and getting 37.5mpg since delivery. Journeys are generally a mixture of short 25 mile trips each way into London 2 or 3 times a week and some 120 mile each way runs up to the Midlands.
I took it to the Highlands last week about 1150 miles round trip and averaged 40.2mpg. I believe the last s/w update added about 1mpg?
