[Becca88]

Hmm...i had 40.5mpg in my ED30 on my way home tonight, couldnt believe it! obviously just toddling about! whats the least/most everyone has had in theirs?

Bloody hell Becca thats good..... although when i reset mine tonight as i was driving reallly easily i was getting 39....but it was boring so put me foot down... we had ours tanking it up the motor way @70mph and it dropped to 23!.....which was miles more fun

Had 34.2 on my way home from Manchester, that's the best I've done on my new engine. Had 37 on my ko3,

I have had high 39's on my Stage 2 Ed30 on a 90 mile round trip.
Probably more to do with the miles and miles of specs cameras than anything else.

I do 36 miles per day , in and out from work , all of it is good A / B roads through the country side , > speed about 50 - 60 MPH .  I get  37 MPG at its best . but if I am a bit heavy footed in certain places 32MPG .   40 is really good.

Christ on a bike Becca how the hell did you manage that????

Where you actually driving it or being towed

I got 40.1mpg on the way home a couple of weeks ago, constant speed of 70mpg for about 25 minutes!

Generally though between 27-32mpg!

I managed 41.1mpg on my 10.5 mile drive to work this week. Bout 4 miles of A roads 6 miles of M'way and the remainder town. I kept to 60-70 on m'way but it was boring! Made up for it on way home!!

Okay I'll go the other way. 8.7mpg average over 350 miles..............at the Nurburgring - wasn't cheap.

Also seen 6.5mpg when at full throttle with nitrous on.

Can still manage 35mpg on a steady run though

[stealthwolf]

i've managed 40+mpg if I keep at a constant 60mph.

[FamilyDub]

Completely standard GTI

Best - 41.7 :: steady speeds through average speed cameras

Worst - 18.9 :: A821, 'The Duke's pass'

Yup, I've managed the same. The readout is a bit optimistic though: I use an iphone app called Roadtrip. This averages fuel consumption as well as logging expenses & such. Great app. Anyway, my average is 30.1 since March, but yes I have had 40mpg on a 30 mile trip

Seen 41.something once - keeping it nice and steady seems to be the key for good mpg ...

  we all know, very few VW's are in need of towing! I was driving it, very steady and as GAZMACUK said, it was very boring! Couldnt believe i had so much, didnt think i would see that on my ED30, rarely seen it on my A3 Diesel!

Nurburg ring, would love to have a go on that! Someday i hope

Have you got a link to that app Lou? Struggling to find it on the app store.
