Thought I would give this a quick bump. Mpg dropped again in the cold weather. Down to 41 mpg

You are quite right they do need a bit more air (well according to the TPM anyway)

What sort of mpg you getting now?

On a motorway run we can easily achieve 58-61mpg if using the cruise control set to 70mph

The average is about 45mpg though (probably the stop-start driving due to traffic/traffic calming/road works/insert other infuriating cause of delay we have to suffer in town )

Bit of an update in case anyone cares (probably not).
Had the car serviced back at the start of April and mpg seems to have improved a couple of MPG. Now getting closer to 47MPG and over 700 miles to the tank which is useful.
Not sure what they did, maybe they reflashed the ECU or something, as I can't believe just an oil change made such a difference but it was immediately better the next day which can't just be down to the warmer weather (it was still pretty cold at the start of April), still a long way off the claimed MPG though.

As a side note the onboard MPG calculation seems to be absolutely spot on compared to brim to brim calculations which is novel!
