Only 26.9 measured over the last 1200 miles dash says 27.2 so it's reasonably accurate. 30-40% motorway and not driven that hard. I think it should be better

The air isnt as dense (ie its thinner, less moisture), plus the engine doesnt have to prewarm the intake air as much going into the manifold.  :happy2:

Would kill to just see 40mpg in my GTI, Best I ever got was 37.9, and that was boring driving in winter.
Need to see if I can get better mileage in really slow motorway summer driving.
