I'd prefer to see the graph for your Rover KV6.

It will be used for a daily 26 mile commute over 4 junctions of motorway with dual carriageway at both ends.
"Will" be used? That implies that the Rover isn't being used for that journey at the moment. Can you clarify please Dave.

I'd hoped that it would easily do between 25 & 30mpg. Am I dreaming?
No; that's a realistic expectation provided that engine service has been carried out diligently and you don't drive as most people do: a cycle of rapid acceleration and heavy braking with no anticipation of the road conditions ahead.
