Is this a consumption record?

I filled up in Arnarge on Friday evening - Both tanks topped to max
Saturday I did the parade laps
I also did some driving Saturday & Sunday - back and forward to paddock etc. Probably 25 miles in total
Monday drove to Caen and then up the A3

I recon in all about 163 miles
I then filled up at Liphook services - again full to the top 25.27 litres

I make that 29.28 mpg based on UK gallon size which impresses the hell out of me as the laps were heavy foot and the Caen trip often at 40mph in traffic which means 3rd gear on my car and the fans turned on manual.

So is this the best ever consumption?
