Mpg will depend on how you drive, where you drive and any mods you have.

29mpg does seem low. Is this from the OBC? What speeds do you drive at?
Are you in the U.K.?
I’ve never seen more than 39mpg from mine. But I’m on All Terrain tyres these days and a few mods. Normal running about I see more like 33-34mpg. Running at over 60mph on dual carriageways seems to limit mpg. But sedate running on A and B roads should see high 30’s.

Are you imperial or US gallon? Imperial gallon is equal to 1.2 US gallons.
Also what octane rating do you have and how much Ethanol?
The differences are small but might add up.

Driving down hill in neutral that is coasting is not good. First it reduces your control of the vehicle as you have no engine braking effect which in turn increases reliance on the wheel brakes which can cause them to overheat. Secondly the engine will revert to idle in neutral which requires it to burn fuel, when going down hill in gear the ECU detects this and virtually stops fuel supply, the effect may be small but it does increase mpg.

Your US gallon figure converts to nearly 35 mpg in Imperial measures, which is better.
I often achieve 45 mpg but that is on smooth tarmac, change up quickly through the gears and keep speeds low.

My very standard gen 4 still achieving a lifetime average of over 42mpg (UK). No motorways near me but otherwise regular A & B road driving. I rarely cane it though.
