ROFL!
I find it far too difficult to stay off the gas pedal long enough, hence I get about 25mpg round town and 27mpg on the motorway!
I might try and find this out but generally the light comes on at 300miles and that's when I fill up.
WhiteGTI:
Impressive figures!
Best ive ever had is around 340 for 1 tank!

....I'm the same - I just can't be arsed to see what my fuel consumption is other than occasionally checking the 'puter. It's usually about 28 mpg regardless of journey.
Due to poor visibility the other week, I did a journey which was mostly in D-mode (I'm 95% M-mode) and not more than 60mph. 'Puter displayed 32mpg but I was very bored - Not the way to enjoy a GTI imo.

I agree RR, Traffic and the snow meant I had to sit back. Nice to see what the car can do though.

Certainly :happy2:, but the only trouble I find is that finding out such info causes me to wonder if I'm a bit of a boy-racer because I never get anywhere near such high mpg and yet I don't hammer it everywhere and always drive according to conditions and traffic.
I've been taught to use the gears though - Not just 40 years ago but more recently on a course. I don't feel comfortable just sitting there using low revs and torque.
Great to meet you after many 'conversations' on the forum - It's always good to meet those you get on well with (and actually often beneficial to meet those you don't get on with so well on forum!)
