You can pick computer on the radio, select average mileage and reset it which will give you a clearer idea of your current average mileage.
Agree with Alan, reset the OBC Chris. You'll definately get different readings. I average 32 mpg or so on daily commute and it'll stay roughly the same on a long run. If I reset it prior to a long motorway run, the mpg reads around 35 or more at certain lower motorway speeds.
