I've had my A2 6 years now and changes in work and family circumstances etc have meant different travel patterns.
The trend has been from (I recall) of typical return journeys of a mix of 60mls or 150mls to recently just a few miles (I know I should walk and that short journeys are not good for the engine).
This has been starkly shown over the last 6 months where I have only done 823 miles. The mpg has fallen to 44 My average over the 6 years is now down to 59 mpg
Here are the May figures showing the miles travelled and average over the last 12 months plus the average since 2005
_____ Period_____Miles 12mnths__Mpg 12mnths__Mpg since 2005
May 2005 to 2006 -- 10,639 miles -- 61.52 mpg ---- 60.30 mpg
May 2006 to 2007 -- 8,872 miles -- 63.11 mpg ---- 61.45 mpg
May 2007 to 2008 -- 9,502 miles -- 59.29 mpg ---- 60.76 mpg
May 2008 to 2009 -- 8,413 miles -- 57.04 mpg ---- 59.92 mpg
May 2009 to 2010 -- 8,169 miles -- 58.10 mpg ---- 59.60 mpg
May 2010 to 2011 -- 2,095 miles -- 48.69 mpg ---- 59.03 mpg
Needs another life style change to get back to 60 mpg - time to retire and tour Europe
