Thanks for the results.

Bare in mind that instrumentation's accuracy (factory or SG), will vary depending on how the car is driven.

On my Fiat the factory display is about 2% optimistic for most drivers, but for us Eco types it's actually about 2% pessimistic. Same goes for SG, it's only accurate once you calibrate it to your driving style, change style and the calibration goes out. It can make you think you're saving fuel with a new technique until you fill up and realise it was just a way of fooling the instruments.

I've found that engine on P&G just doesn't work on the Fiat's little 2cyl engine (too light and poor aero), can't really do EOC because it's a turbo. It's the car that can't be hypermilled.
