Default Holiday fuel consumption report

I got back from a trip to France last week, no interesting photos, just a fuel consumption report. I started noting down miles crossed at every fill-up, but missed a few and gave up, so I mostly just have fill-up amounts.
Litres filled up (Miles crossed)
90--------- (0)
22--------- (106)
72--------- (484)
45--------- (n/a)
79--------- (n/a)
20--------- (n/a)
29--------- (1566)
0---------- (1750)

Total litres used = 357
Indicated range left at the end of the journey was 55miles, so I'm guessing thats about 11l left in the tank.
So mpg for entire trip was 1750/(357-11) * 4.54 = 22.9 mpg

One other thing to note, they dont like Shell much in the south of France, I really struggled to find one down by the coast, had to fill up with Total once.

My best ever holiday mpg was 24 if I remember correctly. I did do a lot of French D-roads this time maybe that why it went down? all those overtakes at full throttle

I was in the St Tropez area, almost made it to Cannes but decided not to in the end. Definitely no Shells witin a 20k radius of where I was. I should have gone for BP but left it too long and had to go to Total.
