Surprise increase in mpg

Hi yesterday had to do a 280 mile round trip to inverness from john o groats. Most of the roads are 2 lane roads over scottish mountains with lots of twists turns steep climbs and descents. Then city driving. Average mpg is 40 imperial mpg. This was in a pugeuot 406 estate with 2.0 engine and auto box. Gov figures are max of 39 mpg at 56 mph under ideal conditions. Mods done are increase tyre pressure by 4psi front air dam and partial grill block. Not bad considering air temp was 4c or lower. Still need to get engine under tray tweeked and sort back bumper/parachute sorted so have portenial to get even more.
