Depends on how heavy your right foot is I guess but I generally get 240 ish miles between visits to the pump and rarely let the needle go below a 1/4 tank. Works out at ~20mpg which I think is about average.
I do most miles to and fro to work or being dad the taxi for the kids so no motorway journeys.

I get between 220 and 250 on average. Best ever was 310, mainly motorway (at sensible ! speeds)

I find that fuel consumption is worse on 95 ron than 97.
