156 question

[Planman350i]

Hello, I tested a 2004 156 2.4 jtd veloce today and was very impressed with looks/noise/performance etc - I'm now thinking of buying one.

As I only had a shortish test drive could someone give me an idea of 'real' mpg figures on a 2003/2004 model. I got up to 35mpg fairly quickly on a mixed run but was told by the dealer that 40-45mpg is easily achieveable...
