My commute is 70% motorway, 30% urban. the motorway was pretty clear (i go in the opposite direction to rush hour), 65-70mph on cruise weaving in and out of the occasional car. For the 30% that was urban, it was a nightmare, buses and traffic lights. When leaving the motorway i had it at 72.9. It dropped to 69.9 in a mile of urban traffic. If I were going further than that, it would probably drop further.

But at least it shows decent economy is achievable with careful cruising. And it kicks the ass off my mate's Audi A1 1.6TDI which he struggles to get above 52mpg even when driving like a granny
