Do you switch the key back to position II after shutting down the engine ?
The trip / odometer should continue to work.

Yes, I worked that out eventually, haha. I should clarify that my trip computer said 334.8 miles at the end of it, but I knew that I had lost some miles so I looked up my exact route, postcode to postcode, on Google Maps. This gave a distance of 85.9 miles each way, making two round trips 343.6 miles. Whilst I can't vouch for the absolute accuracy of Google Maps, my experience of driving the route previously validates its figures to the accuracy of within a mile or so. I also filled up at exactly the same pump each time to further reduce inaccuracies.
Using the trip computer, my fuel economy would have been 62.9mpg(Imp)/52.4(US), which is still a fantastic result, but I do think that the overall error is in my favour.
