The MPG isn't a huge issue, I just don't know what to expect really (realistic mpg, miles per tank etc).

This is both exciting and equally frustrating
I feel your pain! I think the lowest MPG you'll see is 24-25 MPG round town and that's if you put your foot down and don't use stop/start or EcoPro. My 40d would do 32MPG in the same conditions. I think 25MPG could easily be improved on if you were prepared to drive more economically than I do

If you can swallow the extra costs associated with the MPG then jump on the 40i. You won't regret it
Sorely tempted! I'll let you know what I decide on. Thanks again
