Quite agree -- did an accurate check on ours and the dash reading was 3.5mpg low
It averages at 27.5 throughout the year so we are really doing 31 and that's giving it some as well -- the cars for driving

I just did a 150 mile trip to Birmingham, all motorway plus 5 miles A road. I was 60-65mph most of way down and topped 34.1mpg and I was really trying.
In my old 172cup I drove Leeds to Coventry at similar speeds and saw 52mpg and it's pretty much same engine or so I thought.
Hey ho it's not a car to pick for mpg as town driving I am 22-24

Think of the extra weight the MK3s have to carry though. It's a lard ar$e remember.

"the troll hunter" with added boost!
The onboard compter does under read by a bit, around 3mpg. I've plugged in an ODB reader and used that to calculate mpg and that read higher by a fair bit.
Not sure why though, French maths?

The first day i had mine i was watching the MPG go UP, got it to about 34 but since then i thought 'stuff this for a game of soldiers' and dont bother now.
The average reset itself after 9999 miles (trip) and i was at donington so went down to the low teens but now it's on something like 22MPG.

Yep, same. I'm doing about 22 for town driving. Glad it's not just me 
I'm sure the 182s were 35+.

30mpg on the motorway?
Did you reset the trip computer when you got on the motorway?
Mine does 37-38mpg motorway with 65-70mph driving.

Did you reset the trip computer whilst poodling along at 50mph in top gear and then stop to take the picture by any chance
Highest I've ever achieved is 25.9, that was on the way to Manchester from Northants at 60mph...

Driving at 30mph near the nurburgring, over about 8 miles. Was a lot higher on the long downhill bits.
