70mph from Brighton to Crawley got me an average of 44mpg. Not bad I thought, this is good right?

yeah pretty good.

I used to get that in the hatch, the chamade uses more petrol, I blame the shape tbh.

on the way back from collecting the clio, it had done 60miles and then clicked over 1 gallon used, despite the computer saying 55mpg, this was at 60-70 most of the time.

Damm hard to get 50 MPG. but it can be done. I had to when I drove past a stop on the motorway following RSC members. Had to go into 50 mph limp mode to the next stop.
