Hi,
Thanks for responses!!
I have just done Edinburgh - Carrbridge (262 miles round trip). I started in Edinburgh at 17.2 MPG. (yikes) I then was cruise control most of the way at 60 - 65 mpg and it slowly rose to about 22-23mpg ish and stayed there for most of the journey up there... On the way back on I was generally driving slower and it crepped up to 25.3mpg ish.. surely it should be more than that with carefully cruise control driving... Thanks!!

You should have reset your trip before starting. You were most likely getting 30+ just your previous average was pulling it lower
You should be getting around 30-33mpg on average. I had a similar issue a while back, was getting around 28mpg and I think it was running rich as there was a lot of soot on the tailpipes. Turned out to be faulty lambda sensors. Replaced both pre-CAT and post CAT sensors and now running back to normal mpg.
I reset the trip computer on mine this morning before I left for work, it was quite low as I took full advantage of the nice weather we had on Sunday
The journey to work consisted of around 20 miles on B roads and dual carriageways, then during the day I did around 20 miles driving around town to and from appointments, and then another 30 or so miles on the motorway to get home. When I pulled onto my driveway just now, the trip computer showed an average of 39.7 MPG. Admittedly, I've been taking it really easy all day, but it still impresses me how economical these cars can be.

Ambient Temp has a large effect on MPG.
In the summer mine always goes up to around 39-40. In winter mid 30's is the norm.
Takes longer to warm up though so more friction, heavier oil. More drag on wet roads moving all that water.
