Its more the downhills and places you would almost be manually coasting which cost you the most on cruise. Up hills on cruise shouldnt be much worse than manual if you are maintaining a speed.
Before I had my PCV done I was averaging about 16 around town, mid 20s mixed and couldn't top 32 at 70 on the Mway. That's made a huge different but if you've already checked that...
24-26 round town , 30-34 on a run. Standard R.
However, you cannot rely on the trip computer to be accurate. I'm not sure of the exact reason but it's something to do with how you've driven the car over a previous time period - say one hour. So, when you filled up at zero miles it based it's consumption on how you drove it previously. If you ragged it for the previous hour, it'll be based on that. If you then drive like Miss Daisy for the subsequent hour, you'll notice a change in the overall mpg figure.
Think about it like this. The fuel consumption of any engine varies vastly . So, when you fill up and reset the consumption, the computer has to have some information to base it's figure on, and as
it's not a mind reader and hence not capable of predicting how you are going to drive, it uses previous data to give a figure, which is, at best, an estimate.
The longer you drive it for after filling up and resetting, the more information available to give a better, more realistic figure. Best method is brim the tank, reset the trip and see what you get per tank.

Anyone who can't get over 25mpg needs to fix their car. 25mpg is easily achieved even if driving hard. Normal driving will see around 30mpg +.
Eco driving will see 40+.

Leave the car at home and buy a push bike. You don't buy the car to have good mpg lolOut if interest then. What would you advise to fix to improve mpg?
Generally speaking I would say if you have low mpg on any car make sure it is running well (serviceable items are all in order), tyres are all at correct pressure and in good condition, the correct fuel is used and the fuel system is in working order. Also worth checking that there isn't huge carbon deposits in the car.Out if interest then. What would you advise to fix to improve mpg?
