Common issue with the Astra J is fuel consumption... the trip computer tells lies so calculate any fuel consumption using the brim-to-brim method only.
In the 4 years and 130k miles I had my 2.0cdti GTC being on forums I've seen lots of posts about bad fuel consumption especially with the petrol automatic.
Personally my diesel averaged 45-50 mpg, the book says it should be nearer 65! The best I ever got out of a tank was 715 miles but I used pretty all of what was in the tank (55L) and I did mostly dual or motorway driving.
It's a big heavy car for a relatively small petrol engine to drag around. I've seen several posts around people trying to improve mpg including remapping but don't think anyone has had much success.
I've got an Abarth 595c now with a 1.4 turbo engine squeezing 165bhp, it's an auto but still achieves 40mpg lol shame the tank only holds a thimble full of fuel.
