You seem to be able to exceed the official test MPG by a large margin which is unusual.
Not so on a car of this generation I don't think, in my experience it's only the newer stuff that has optimistic MPG claims.

Optimistic claims are nothing new - it on old stuff aswell .
What happens is owners just look at the best figure which is laughably optimistic and moan they don't achieve the claims -yet they easily beat the other 2 figures
Its a bit like the 140mph speedos on 1.6 bog standard cars- and expecting your 90bhp to achieve it
