GTi >>> ED30

(using averages)
well the mk4 r32 was bad on fuel, but i think you'd be surprised with the mk5 version, i achieve 25mpg all day long, 35-40mpg with cruise on the motorway
and ive tried believe me but i can't get it under 18mpg so far, and that's in missile mode too :evilgrin:

Rob, you've had plenty of GTI's so maybe an Ed30/Pirelli model might be the next step but like others have said - they are effectively the same car, one just having slightly more power if you need it - dont you fancy something different, was that your 2nd or 3rd GTI?

thanks
only been in a mk5 gti as a passenger and was impressed by the flexibility, although be it we weren't pushing on.
the 1.8T isn't what i call vicious, but hard to compare when the 225 version has a k04 turbo

TBH I don't think there is a huge difference between the two. I had a highly tuned ED30 and my overall average was 24mpg. I can't see an R32 being any lower than that to be honest :happy2:

Yes but if you had a R32 the overall average would be 16. :rolleye:

surely average normal driving won't be that low
