7 years old? Actually can't be much more than 6 because the first in the UK were 2008. Mine is still doing 51.1 mpg on Shell V-Power, but isn't a Dualogic. Using an automatic for short trips I don't think you'll do better than 40mpg unless you go for a Toyota Yaris hybrid that should do about 60mpg.
