Best MPG?

I posted in another thread recently but I do a 45-50mi commute to work and I get an average of 38-42mpg every week. That's about 375-400mi per tank.

it's a 35ltr tank in the cupra isn't it? which is ~7 or 8 gallons from a rough estimate?

So taking the 40mpg mean I should technically only get 320mi on a tank? so the average mpg reading is actually low?? Maybe it's cos I top my tank up till the pump clicks a few times.

The tank on the ibiza is 45 litres or 10 gallons. When I filll up after my fuel light has come on I can fit about 40-41 litres in the tank.

And as were on the subject I manage 200 to a tank around 22mpg, Mixture of town and traffic driving 35 mile a day, I just can't stop my size 11's using the full depth of the loud pedal.
