Thats about right for DSE manual....
Oil choice is personal preference - personally i go full synthetic and get your sort of MPGs on my manual. I also have a PSI box, upgraded panel filter and flushed intercooler, and a stainless exhaust.
Just go for a good quality with a grade to suit your change intervals and the ambient temps. As mentioned previously i use 15/40 all year round with problems, if expecting a particularly cold winter then prob drop down to 10/40. How ever cold weather and dark nights will see your mpg drop anyway.
Maybe, but you would need a maths degree to work it out. There would be a zero at the start, then a point involved, then a whole load of zeros before you could put any other numbers in.

It's noticable in very cold weather and it starts more easily, otherwise maybe not a measurable difference. I average 24mpg brim to brim on local mileage but not a lot of traffic here

Sorry nearest i could get using my fingers and toes. Of course if you came from Burnley and had twelve fingers and toes, you could possibly improve on the accuracy somewhat.
You're not come and sit down. Bring some beer over.

Must be referring to the posh part of Burnley cause I was led to believe it was 14 fingers and toes bloody good banjo players tho
