I ought to add that the figure of 42mpg (US) and 51mpg (Imperial) included two return journeys where the car was fully laden, either with passengers (including in the rear seats so four adults) and with a load of PA equipment driving to and from a gig. I am a semipro musician playing in a soul/R&B band so I sometimes have to transport band kit.
So far on the current fuel tank I have driven 292 miles and the gauge is showing just under half full. It would be nice to get 450 or more miles on this tank; we'll see. I have been keeping a paper log of fuel consumption and mileage, and will be inputting them into an Excel spreadsheet at some point.
