Default st170 fuel consumption

quite shocked how when driven in grandad mode it can be a pretty economical car, I drove from bristol to torquay last week, 106 miles and averaging 70-80 all along the m5 and used just short of half a tank

today done exactly the same trip but in less of a hurry, ie sat behind an arctic all the way and its only just dropped slightly from the full mark. quite surprised....may I add i dont make a habit of driving at 56 mph on the motorway but i left early through boredom and thought stuff it if i stay behind the lorry i am not actually slowing anyone else down.

anyway whats other 170 owners views as normally this one is absolute crap on fuel, ie 240 miles to a tank urban, my last one managed about 280 no probs but this one is a bit juicier for some reason (maybe i just have a heavier right foot now)
