Default Spa trip 41 mpg! :-)

Only Leamington Spa! Drove down on Friday for a overnight stay at my dads. it's the first time I've done motorway journey and remembered to do proper Economy check 272 miles £39.70 of lpg at 63.9p.
most of the time I tried between 70-80 on the speedo (apart from the 50 road works). And a bit of town driving I think 50 mpg equivalent may be possible with all motorway and not using cruse control.
I've also been trying to find out if the car has a sweet spot where it's most efficient, by setting the cruse at different speed for 10min and reset the mpg average in the DIS here are my results
60mph average 29.6 mpg
70mph average 27.3 mpg
80mph. average. 26.5 mpg
I've only tried it once, but not on the same route! so I need to try it a lot more.
Anybody else tried this?
Cheers dave
