Lee Kay well then what do I need to do to get 33 mpg? One way trip over the White cliffs of Dover in England, free roll down pikes Peak or let if run over the grand cannon and check the MPG at the bottom?

It's already been answered here, but here's a recap:
1: Use the recommended fuel (in this case, 91 octane (RON+MON)/2)
2: Drive alone, no cargo or passengers
3: Weigh no more than 165 lbs
4: Drive on flat terrain
5: Drive with windows and sunroof closed
6: Turn off A/C
7: Do an average of 48.3 mph and never dip below 30 mph or exceed 60 mph
