Glad I'm not the only one suffering! :S
I reset my computer every time I fill up, so don't have an average from new. Best I've seen on a long run is low 39s, I do a lot of short urban journeys so usually closer to 32-33 on my auto.
I'm a very gentle driver (honestly!) and usually get excellent economy in cars, but not the Jimny, which is weird. Even stranger, one of the best economy runs I've done involved a far bit of 'point & squirt' down twisty country lanes, where I drove like a bit of a hooligan as it was so much fun. Makes me wonder if the Jimny benefits from a slightly more aggressive style of driving?
I think you are on to something there. When my dad was regularly driving Dreadnaught he often complained that using a tank of fuel every third week seemed excessive for the mileage he was doing, maybe 50 to 75 a week. The thing was he rarely got to 3000 rpm and insisted on driving like it was a diesel chugging away in completely the wrong gear. When I took over I'm doing a minimum of about 200 miles a week but I am only using a tank every 10 to 12 days or about 300 miles to a tank. How? By not being afraid of the top half of the rev range.

Wonder if it's because I'm used to driving turbo cars (petrol, not yucky diesel :whistle:), where you tend to get the best economy by keeping them off-boost. Going to try driving the Jimny differently, getting up to speed more quickly.
Generally speaking I do just that. Beans up to a desired speed then hold in whichever cog gives above 3k , that way you're able to have so go if needed without lots of rapid changes.
