   Filled my car up last week, and from the light to brimmed took 53 quid, light is back on now and I have only done 300 miles, according to an online mpg calculator it works out at 33.33 miles per gallon, which seems a bit shit......is this normal? I would have thought 40 ish would be a out right, I haven't ragged it anywhere so was hoping for 400 miles.......should i change my filters and plugs?
   
   Cheers,

   No, been driving very conservatively, sticking to speed limits, no hard acceleration or sudden braking, changing up about 2000rpm........nothing silly
