2014-04-28 503.7 7.75 64.99 "Best tank so far - mainly motorway cruising between 60-70 mph, since I wasn't in a hurry and the weather wasn't great."

2014-05-22 512.4 8.48 60.42 "Another mainly highway tank, but less traffic so higher average speeds and lower mpg as a result!"
2014-06-25 496.8 8.55 58.11 "Fuel economy inexorably creeping downwards. Symptom of traffic conditions and towards the start of the tank, some higher-speed driving."

When the battery cycles and needs to charge itself up again, speeds aren't high enough to fully charge - so the car spends a lot of time drawing the engine's power to charge the battery and never has as much assistance as when the battery is full. Plus, cold weather effects on efficiency in general."
