MPG
I've had my car a month now and filled up the other day after driving 453 miles. Dash read-out showed 56.6mpg overall. Working out tank-to-tank gave 53.55mpg. Most of my driving is on single carriageway A-roads here in Wales so they're up and down and twisty so I think the figure is pretty good. I wouldn't ever expect to average anywhere near WLTP figures. Those are only any good for on-paper comparisons in my view.
Soon I'll be driving 300+ miles each way to Ipswich which will include quite a bit of dual carriageway/motorway driving. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
My previous diesel Ford told me it was doing 51mpg on average with tank-to-tank at 46mpg (quoted mpg for that was 57) and, of course, diesel costs a lot more. Having said that it'll take a heck of a long time for the fuel savings to balance the cost of changing the car! Happily, that's not why I did it.

Funny experience driving from London to Somerset at the weekend.
Filled up and range estimate rose to 440 miles.
100 miles of driving changed that to…. 445 miles remaining
. I amusingly I will pretend that’s 545 miles.
….Sadly the return journey ate up a disproportionate amount : averaging out at 478 mile range.
