Don't do anything special to achieve that.... I have the sport button off and I stick to speed limits. My commute is 30 miles each way and is mostly dual carriageway at 70mph, with some 50 zones and some town driving at the start and end of the journey. If possible I try to follow another vehicle and just drive with the flow of traffic. I do have the instant MPG display showing on the OBC but don't always take much notice of it.

Aslo, my car is an early MCS without the fuel saving features so a newer one should return a little more.

Do you have 17" alloys ?, if so it's probably my 18's costing me a bit in fuel.
