I think Something Must Be Broken

Over the last 350 miles I've averaged 37 mpg.

I've been trying. I had it up to over 40 the other day! That's mpg not mph.

"I think something must be broken"

It's your right ankle. The pain is why you've not been pressing the loud pedal hard enough.

The only other explanation is that you're from Yorkshire, and you're still being tight with the petrol even though it's dropped in price by 20p a litre

Nope, but I've been driving it in Yorkshire a fair bit.
