The thing with larger tyres, is it always kills fuel consumption to some degree.
In that way, you would be paying "every time you went to the pumps"

A 50mm (2 inch) lift is perfect

whos gonna care about mpg when your stuck in the mud cos of your small tyres

Looks like a bigger tyre jobbie tbh :/ insurance isnt happy with a 2" lift as "it encourages off roading :/" but i cant really complain i am only 19 on a disco so no other company will cover me but still

I do want to start taking it off road abit, but the truth is will be doing far more road driving , i drive up the a1 to college 2days a week about 80miles for both trips so has to be okay at 60/70mph , hmmmmm i dont know its a tricky one

Sounds like you will be doing a fair amount of on-road miles at todays cruising speeds so I would keep it std height. Depending on where you are on the A1 there can be a lot of side winds which makes lifted cars feel less stable - because they are! - at cruising speed.
