It's Saturday, so let's see if we can bring some order into the OP's life and answer his question from the assorted replies.
48 to 55 (we'll call that 51)
50 to 55 (we'll call that 52)
52 (we'll ignore the Hilltop mapping figure)
50 (For the purposes of this exercise, we'll ignore the enthusiastic 42 but hats off, all the same)
52
47
54.2 (we'll ignore the decimal but thanks for sharing) 54
49.9 (see comment above) 50
50
44 to 46 (the man's a regular rocket) 45
49.5 (50 will do) 50
Between 49 and 52. We'll settle on 51, thanks.
47 to 48. Let's say 48, mate.
48 to 51 to 53. Blimey, people make it really hard, let's say 51
This lot gives:
51, 48, 51, 50, 45, 50, 50, 54, 47, 52, 50, 52, 52, 51
Now, if I had payed more attention in maths lessons at school I would remember more about modes, means, medians and ranges, enabling a proper, thorough statistical analysis of the excellent data. But (shame on me) I didn't, so let's go for the old and trusted, lick of the finger and hold it in the air method...... And go for..... Big roll on the drums......
50 mpg, but sort of 51 to 52'ish with the odd occasional excursion into the higher end of the 40's.
I hope that is of help to the OP and to anyone else who wonders about these things to decimal points.
It does though indicate that the 10 miles per litre rule of thumb law fails, as 50 mpg is 13 (and a touch) miles per litre. I can maybe explain this away by suggesting that bods who collect such data (to the decimal point) are very sloooooooooow......but maybe they are smoooooooth, too?
