High Fuel Consumption

Hi folks. I drive motorway miles everyday, Edinburgh to Glasgow. I have eco on all the time and drive at 60 miles an hour. I have a 64 plate 2ltr automatic petrol. This guzzles fuel like it's going out of fashion. Is there anything that can help with consumption.

Mine will do about 38-40 on a decent run where I can sit at 60, but the general commute, 20 miles each way with a bit of queueing, roundabouts, etc, sees it drop to 34-35. They are not an economical car when it comes to fuel consumption, the box is poorly matched to the engine in my view and I often think it's struggling. I can forgive it though as in four and a half years and 56k (now sitting at 104k) of ownership it's cost me nothing but routine servicing and consumables.

You don't say what mpg you are seeing though; dependent on what you had before your expectations may need managing!
