I did 80 miles today and managed 42.5 mpg. But that was down small a and b roads. Its definitely not how a gti should be driven, however I do love the flexibility of the mpg that these engines allow. i didnt buy the car for its mpg that would be stupid but its definitely an added bonus when you do want to drive at a budget  :laugh:

We drove from Cumbria to Kent last week and managed to get just about 400 miles out of the tank either way which was showing about 33-34mpg on the comp. Both ways due to road works and bad weather we spent a lot of time at no more that 50mph.
i was fairly happy with that as it included non m/way driving too.

Only had the car about 6wks so worrking on it!

I did Kent to York and back and averaged 34 mpg, approx 400 miles to a tank. However I think having a knackered PCV valve is giving me slightly reduced MPG, and lets just say on the way home the flow of traffic was well paced!
