In the 60K I had my FL1 TD4 auto it avereaged 28mpg - so 26 mpg around town doesn't seem too bad. The FL2 auto was giving the similar mpg for the first 20k miles, until diesel passed £5 a gallon, now keep speed down to 60-65mph on motorways (40miles to work), and get 32mpg.
Look on the bright side, during the winter consumtion on several tank fulls dropped to less than 23mpg using the snow setting.
A lot of people on the Freel2 site claim a lot better, some see worse - driving style, and not just speed seems to have a large influence on consumption.
