I always run from full to empty refueling normally with less than 10miles left, 0 quite often and once 19miles after 0 literally missing for a mile before the garage 29/30mpg 95% of the time up and down hills fully loaded, Cornwall to Colchester last week 38mpg up 37mpg back, I'm sure 10% could be gained turning aircon off, driving at 60mph and minimising the load etc that would be very close to the advertised figers.
If you look on "fuely" there are quite a few vans showing what look like filling errors, ie 25mpg followed by 35mpg the next entry or vise versa when the overall average is 30mpg.
The one and only time I let the trip get to zero the thing started spluttering before it got to -1. I was lucky to get to the nearest pumps.
