Fuel consumption

The other day I drove from Cambridge to Coventry- virtually A14 and M6 all the way. The journey cost me circa £45 and the trip computer showed an average of 24.7 mpg.
Does that sound about right as I could have sworn it was better than that when I’ve been before.. that’s doing no more than 70mph. Most was going around 60.
It averages 19mpg usually according to the car.
Had to edit as I forgot to mention the fact it’s a 2001 4.4i…

As best i can recall now,, i would have been quite pleased with that. On my 4.4 a figure of 15mpg was constantly displayed on 'local' commuting.
