Jakobnev that is true but my 40 mile round daily commute is over similar roads. Have done the same trip many times and never got such a high figure usually get 37 mpg which is good. The 280 mile trip included a drive across city in rush hour. Lots of roundabouts and red traffic lights not the best for mpg. Trips before have always avoided rush hour traffic. Thinking back i did solve a very very tiny water leak by thermostat had to do the housing bolts up by 1/2 a turn. Maybe its the extra couple of temperture degrees. Engine runs at 80c on temperture gauge. Still a bit low for a 85c-87c thermostat. As stated before air temp was 4c dropping to 0c on highest parts of route. One mountain climb and drop is full of tight turns and very steep where you cannot get out of 2nd gear for 3/4 mile and have to keep power on to climb. A flat motorway would be a better guage for mpg.
