I'm pretty easy on the throttle. I normally see the light come on at about 100 miles, so imagine my surprise when the trip read 127 miles and I could only squeeze 10 litres in the tank!

I would check your light if i were you.
If you only managed to SQUEEZE, 10 litres in from light, that means yours runs an 8 litre reserve.
I always get 125 miles to light on, and on filling yesterday at 139 miles got 14.5 litres in, i always make sure it is always brimmed. works out to just under 44 mpg
i suspect you may have short filled it with ought realising it.

Hey Heroblob, the reserve light hadn't come on, it's just that on past experience I was expecting it to come on any minute. This is the first long run I've done since having the throttle bodies balanced etc and it's more economical since the changes. In France in May it was returning 50mpg on the long motorway stints.
