On average what real MPG do you get? i.e. calculated not from the DIS?

I'm getting 30/31 on combined driving, quite a few short journeys when she's not fully getting up to temperature though.
 
I must admit, I no longer measure it exactly. I take my figures from the DIS, and mentally subtract a couple of mpg. On that basis, mine ranges from about 34mpg in mixed daily driving, to around 43mpg on a steady 70-plus motorway cruise. What I do find gratifying is that if a busy motorway forces me to cruise at 60-ish, the figure can go up to nearly 50mpg. That kind of makes up for the frustration.
 
Mines a B8 but I get between 37 and 43 mpg on dis with mixed town and dual carriageway driving
 
Wife says shes getting 35/8 mpg to work and back, 14 miles each way mix of town and fast A roads, does very close to 50 on her regular run to Norfolk.
 
I'm averaging 30/31 mpg over the last 10 tankfulls.

I do a lot of short town journies though.

On a long motorway run I can get about 40+
 
i get 33-39 mpg with a mix of all driving, never any higher than 39 though,but mines a 55 204bhp manual and never realy driving slowly.
 
I get much the same as mentioned above, 30-32 short trips, mid 40's on longer journeys and mines running 'Blue Fin' remap by Superchips
