Just worked out what I'm getting and managed an actual of 46.8 in my MK2 VTR.
That's at 65/70 on the clocks mostly, town driving and M25 traffic 
Also had a period of 80+ and some traffic light grand prix with a 1 series. Which I won! Haha.
So I reckon 48 or even 50MPG is achieveable its just weighing it up between fuel saving and actually getting somewhere. Haha.
Cheers

For those with iPhones there's a really useful app that works out your mpg every time you fill up, it's free as well. It's called Road Trip LE

Another quick update not that anyone cares 
MK2 VTR.. Mainly all motorway driving at 70 cough a little more at around 3000/3500 RPM and some town driving, got 435 Miles out of the tank which is an actual 51 MPG.
That's not bad at all IMO!

i know its an old post and sorry for digging it up, but as a new driver, insurance rapes you, its good to try save money anywhere possible.
when i bought the car it needed a service (about 600 miles left to next service) to save money i did it myself.
i started my first months drive using 'normal' unleaded and got on average of 45mpg. doing the same journey of; farm, home, work, home. on a daily basis. (10-15 miles a day)
and doing the same this month with tesco's 99 premium stuff. (get money off vouchers so pay less for it)
so far im getting 50-55 mpg
not a huge increase but saves money i guess...
any way nice guide/thread

Ok I’ve had quite a few people contact me regarding MPG, either calculating it, what is good MPG, how to pull babes, how to get decent MPG, why is someone getting bad MPG etc etc |

Thank you, this guide was very helpful for me.
I have a Peugeot 106 1.5d for about 1.5 year and i never really calculated MPG, because i didn't want to fill up to full (especially twice) the fuel tank, so i just waited for the low fuel warning light to to blink up on the dash and then i went to immediately to fill lets say 2 gallons and then zeroed my odometer and waited for the warning lamp to light up again and then calculated upon how many miles i went with the car with 2 gallons fuel.. This was not the most accurate solution, but for a while i have a feeling that it consumes more fuel.. let's say i get -10MPG on average compared to older measures..
This is a wild idea, but can i just fill up a can with fuel, toss it in the trunk, and let the car to run out of fuel completely and then refuel it from the can.. So exactly the same method without filling in so much fuel..
