7 on a prolonged rock crawl (I thought that was rather good)
12 in snow and ice and pulling neighbours up hills.
17 in sub-zero short trip shopping commutes
22 in warm weather, 20 mile trips
24 across France with 1400kg caravan
35.6mpg Oldham(Saddleworth) to Leeds (Oulton) at a steady 56mph on a warm day (no, I didn't hog the second lane of an empty Motorway all the way... for some strange reason the whole M62 eastbound that day did 56mph from joining to leaving; cruise control all the way, never had to touch it once  ). Never repeated since.
I have done short checks at steady 70 and steady 80 (local airfield  ) 24mpg and 23mpg IIRC.
There is (of course) an iPhone app - DriveGain - which will congratulate you on smooth motoring etc 
A 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods
