Pretty good mpg

I was up in Stanmore today, which is a 200 mile round trip for me.  Traffic nowadays can make the journey time both ways vary quite wildly, so I know now to leave in good time.

Homebound, I hit a very busy M25 with all the usual muppets jostling across lanes to gain a few inches.  I wasn't in a hurry, so I tucked myself in behind an A6 towing a caravan, set the ACC on and just steered.  They were bobbing along nicely at 65 to 70mph where traffic allowed, which suited me.  I know if a journey's over 20 miles I can get my mpg up into the 40's if I'm half sensible, but considering it's a 2.0 petrol and a GTI, I was quite pleasantly surprised to see this 35 miles in to the journey:

Not bad I thought

Trouble spelling the word 'in' - got it right on the second attempt!
