I hope you'll forgive me for finding that, well, a bit unbelievable.
Thinner oil surely works - especially in winter - but surely, it can't help that much (11-12 mpg)
I have a hard time pushing my 1.6L V50 to 58.8 mpg, and that's a small aerodynamic wonder compared to the brick-like 244
Both cars coincidentally also weigh just about as much.
Are those values taken off the car's computer, or did you calculate them when filling up the tank ?
I'm afraid you got some of the MPG <-> L/100km conversions mixed up ...
* 58.8 mpg (US) is a mere 4 L/100km - which would be nothing short of spectacular
* 58.8 mpg (UK, or Imp) is 4.8 L/100km
