I used to average 18 with my petrol 90.
Yours might improve when the overall temperature rises again.
Dragging brakes a possibility if you haven't serviced the calipers for some time.

Think this should be in the 90 section not the 120. I've averaged 19mpg in my 3.4 litre 95 series VX Auto over 15,000 miles and six years. Mostly short, local journeys. On a long run I've seen 23mpg. I'd say yours is spot on.

Oh, and mine's done 194,000 miles. Engine still sweet as a nut with very low emissions at MOT time. Rust will be the killer though sometime soon.
