The most you can reasonably expect to achieve is low to mid 50s and that is a manual car cruise enabled, driven at 60MPH without traffic, and automatics driven with the same conditions 46mpg at a push.
Anyway if you want to make yourself feel good about fuel consumption, reset the MPG meter while travelling downhill and tickle the throttle, you might see an impressive figure then.
60 MPG may be seen as an instantaneous figure, but it is not a realistic one

During 2018 my remapped cdti auto has achieved 48.4 AVERAGE dividing 5200 miles by the gallons purchased. I am happy!
