What size is the MG HS PHEV's fuel tank?

I have the new MG HS PHEV and have noted that you say that the fuel tank is of 55-litre capacity. I live in England and all the literature over here states 37 litres. But today I drove into a petrol station with 50 miles of petrol range on the clock and without filling up I put 44 litres in.

Is the 55-litre tank an EU market thing? If it is I would seem to have an Irish model as it's right-hand drive. Can you share any insights you might have on the tank size?

A question on my Skoda Octavia's fuel economy...

Enjoyed the Skoda Octavia 1.5 Tec auto review. Just curious do you measure real world litres/100km versus official during your time with the car? I can’t see any reference in the piece. Just curious as I purchased one and while long motorway trips deliver 5.0 litres/100km, urban stop-start and suburban traffic means closer to 9.0 litres/100km or 30mpg in old money. Any information appreciated.

Kind regards
