I would think that the variances are down to driving style more than anything else. Some that think they are being gentle and smooth and rarely touching the brakes may in fact not be at all. It's got to be really difficult to analyse your own driving style.
this morning on my 20m traffic free motorway journey to work I decided to not use the cruise control because I reckoned I could get better mpg by using my foot (I'd heard this a number of times over the years and just assumed it to be true). Instead of the consistent 52mpg I have been getting I managed 48 instead. I can only imagine that I was far less consistent on the throttle than I had expected.
Tonight I'm bypassing the motorway and taking the country lanes in Sport mode and with the transmission in manual. I'm expecting to get about 38mpg :-)
