Just driven a 2L down from Lytham to Shropshire.Mainly M6 and M 56 .Just done 1000 miles and I kept it at 60 -65 mph most of the way.At Chester services it was showing average 40.2 mpg.My previous E class diesel would have been reading about 49mpg,so I am pleased about that.
You did 60-65mph on the M6 southbound Crikey, well done. Must have been 2 a.m. on a Sunday morning. I went on a relaxing potter around the lanes in west Cheshire and North Wales the other day when the Sun was out. Sunroof open, no stress and 40.4 m.p.g.. I had Mrs. Cheshire Cat with me which is probably why I pottered

I have that same engine in a SUV shaped body if it helps. Over 18000 miles I have averaged 29mpg according to the trip computer - and a couple of brim to brim checks have suggested it’s not a million miles off the truth...
On a good steady speed run (a lot of my driving is M1 from M25 to j29, followed by a few miles of country road, or M25 j20 to M3 j4a with a few miles of cross country) it can do 33 or 34. I cruise about 76 indicated on motorway, 54 through the roadwork bits..
On a more fun jaunt across country 26 to 28 is more likely. Short trips around the locality, often from cold, is more like late teens...

Hope that helps.
This is consistent with my experience after 1000 miles in my new post facelift s
