Iain is in the UK, right?

Remember the mpg numbers from the UK and the US are not the same...
an imperial gallon in the UK is more than a US gallon, so given
that 1 UK gallon is about 1.2 US gallons, a 26 mpUKg is about
21mpUSg.  Depending on your style of driving and conditions, this
sounds a bit low.
