And computer says 51 on my round trip to Manchester today
And I have about three quarters of a tank left
i cant actually read that, my display's different so don't know what i'm looking at - is that 210mph? of course that might be something to do with me lying about 8' away from the monitor, looking at it through magnifier...
and is that 14 degrees? i'm lying here with all the doors open in just my boxers, and we're promised hotter at the weekend
Makes me cry, even on a 56mph cruise from Yorkshire I only got 50mpg. f*cking petrols

dont make me get the camera out in the C5, I will never get that kinda mileage out of that thing but the display is far far far from poverty spec in that
Twas a mix of motorway and inner city traffic - that said, I did run the car in EV mode when in traffic and I was mega super hypermiling when on the motorway. I dont think I have driven so efficiently ever! As for the road being - "down hill" - it's a mix of terrain!
But - it was in real world conditions, free from the "official" MPG figures which they slap on a car's windscreen when new!
