However, Its strange as I am still getting 47mpg (indicated) on a long drive to leeds on Tuesday and a 45.7 mpg driving down to Essex yesterday. Leeds too half a tank to do 360ish miles - so dont know.

My temps were around the 75 to 80 mark however!
I think you're having a similar issue to me - one of the stats must be sticking, so at high speed when you're giving it some it works momentarily and the temp goes up (also because of the inc in ambient temp and convection from soak time). Today I was gunning it down the motorway and mpg went from 33 to 39 as the temperature went up.

As soon as I got off the motorway, the temp dropped and the mpg fell off a cliff again.

Got the car booked in for the 15th but hoping I can get it in before then, too much fuel being wasted every day
