First fillup with no effort (except when bored) resulted in 54.2 Imp MPG which more or less matches the urban figure for the car rather than the overall - I use that as the overall is unrealistic for me - most of my trips are in Edinburgh and the traffic management is cr.., er, leaves something to be desired.

Interestingly this also closely matches the on board tank display (54.7) which I expected to be more optimistic.

Its a good tank for me (1/2 the cost of Hermann for the same distance) and beats my previous Aygo which was much smaller (1.0 Hatch). Also a good baseline.
