As teacher would say "Please show your working out". 
£75 divide by £0.90 = 83.33 litres.
83.33 litres divide by 4.54 = 18.35 gallons
687 miles divide by 18.35 gallons = a Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it" 37.44mpg
Not if it's a scooby unless some of the journey was on a flat bed recovery wagon.
Mark.

I managed 31mpg from near Manchester to Cornwall this summer.
I drove off boost and at 60mph all the way.
Oh my95uk turbo... full of camping gear and 2 bicycles on the back.
I was pretty chuffed, but pretty bored.

I've never tried to save fuel on a long continuous run, but i too get around 25MPG with general driving (a bit of full boost action in there as well) from my 96 STi RA (even with it's really low gearing, 70MPH @ 4200rpm).
Low weight helps with fuel economy.

Usually get between 240 and 290 per tankful. Stopped using Optimax tho' as my CEL keeps coming on with it. Any old SUL and it's fine....

I got 370 miles from a tankful - just over 11 gallons - the other week . . . (modded bugeye, so slightly larger tank), and even that's only around 31mpg. Long journeys, although I admit I may have been going at a fraction over 60mph - but only for 360 miles or so on that tank
