Hi Guys had my GTI for about 6 months now and usually get about 320miles to a full tank of Vpower or Tesco premium about £60 where i live. i dont drive fast everywhere and usually 30 minute trips to work and back.

That could be right especially if you have a lot fo traffic, I generally get between 350-380 but generally longer journeys.

I usually end up filling after 280 so you aren't doing bad

yes sounds about right, i am 20 mins stop start and get only about 25mpg, about 280-300 miles to the tank...on longer trips I have managed 360 miles to a tank.

I am monitoring my usage via the Road Trip app on the iphone, seen 29mpg and 24.5 mpg recently, I sometimes think i would be better taking a longer more cruisey route into work to improve my mpg!  :stupid:
