Hi. Due to petrol shortage a week or so ago I decided to drive very carefully.
C3 aircross (6 months old) 6 speed manual. 100 mile trip north on M5, mainly motorway. Speed around 58/59 MPH. Achieved 68 MPG. Very pleased with that

I've been using E10 fuel for months, and my mpg has gone up, if anything, not down. But only marginally...

On long trips mine went up as I published. On my local trips to the same places as in August compared to now, they are within 0.5mpg according to Mycitroen App. Some are plus some are minus. So no real difference here.
