Update on Fuel consumption - Still bad?

Its been a little while since I wrote a post about MPG for my E52 so thought it was time for an update!  You might want to read my earlier post here first: https://www.e52lowdown.com/2021/11/elgrand-e52-mpg-how-bad-is-it-really.html I have covered 6500 miles since I wrote my last post about this and have been recording my miles along with fuel intake the whole time, and also tried a couple of things to improve it along the way.  Just to recap for you, my driving style is very much to the speed limit, so my bus is at 70mph on a motorway rather than in the slow lane trundling along at 55 where I am sure you would be able to improve on these figures. The table below shows the first set of figures that I recorded and is largely similar to the previous post. It is a very slight improvement but that could be that I am being more careful and not seeing what my V6 can do. Litres KMs KM/L MPG 38 310 8.157895 23.0445
