Today I have done approx 29mpg. This has been attempting to maintain the speed limit wherever possible though the stationary traffic and serious head wind all day have made the speed limit increasingly difficult to get to. I hope tomorrow is better.

So. I've stopped for a brew on the way home and my average for the whole trip is going to be 29.8mpg. Not bad given that half of the trip is little more than single track road. Not too bad over nearly 1200 miles.

Present average on this tank is 43.1 mpg. This consists of short town work and longer A and B road work. Best ever was 49 mpg but that was a full day out at an easier than normal cruise, but it shows what is possible.
By the way, what are the best figures for the Gen.3 that members have achieved?
I never exceeded 39mpg in my manual 2014 car. The 2012 auto isn't significantly different. We've had 37mpg from it but that wasn't in ideal conditions. Fuel economy isn't a strong point! My Mazda 3 with a 2 litre 184bhp petrol engine,in a car 400kg heavier, has averaged a real 45mpg in mixed driving since I got it 4 months ago, and will easily do 50mpg on a motorway run. Aerodynamics are part of it but the M13A Suzuki engine seems to prioritise reliability over efficiency.
The Gen.4 has a section of the instrument panel devoted to fuel consumption, either instant or over a driven distance. I have mine to reset when I clear the distance recorder at each new tank filling. Does the Gen.3 have the same system?
