Smile Pence Per mile - what are you getting?

I used to be getting really bad mileage out of the scoob but since i've started commuting a 50 mile round trip a day with about 1/2 of it in a 50mph average speed monitoring zone i've been getting (what I think) pretty good mileage.

The Scoob

MY95UK Turbo
STI4 block
3" decat with custom 4.5" angle exit
Induction kit
SX FPR
Walbro Fuel pump
Bosch coils
Magnecor Leads
STI intercooler
Earthing mod
Oil catch can & breather
18" rims
Tein coilovers

I filled up today after doing 240 miles on 41 litres. By my calculations that's 5.85 miles per litre & at £0.82 per litre that's £0.14 per mile which I think is pretty damn good

I used to get 210 miles out of a tank (approx 50 litres) when I wasn't cruising to work which works out at approx £0.19 per mile

That's quite an improvement because of some bleedin speed cameras and I never thought i'd go an entire week without filling up I'm saving approximately £12 a week because of them
