I picked up my Edition 30 last night and averaged 34MPG on the way home, this was sitting at 70mph most of the way on cruise!

Having owned diesel cars for the past few years, its a big shock to me! Lol.

I have the exact same problem. Managed 36.2mpg on the motorway when i picked my ED30 up last week, nothing compared with the 60+mpg i used to get from my remapped Fabia Vrs tdi. Oh well, its all good fun :-)

Terible isnt it dude! Small price you pay though i suppose!

I get 40+mpg on a daily run to work, manage 38ish on the way back, average is around 35mpg at the mo as i'm conserving the clutch lol...

On a positive note, worked out it only costs another £168 a year to run v-power all the time, plus I get points and they currently have an offer that it you spend over £25 on V you get a free coffee/tea/ hot chocolate which has been nice on these cold dark evenings... mmmm :signLOL:

ahh....so the derv's do show quite a difference....and I was right to suspect something about my Injectors, only getting around 47mpg :jumpmove:

If only they did what they did with the MK4 and Make Derv Anniversary models....they were great ! :pomppomp:

Surely someone has beaten this? Standard '05 Gti with very little fuel  :grin: From Keswick doing 45mph along the A66, and then 56mph on the M6 until the Shell station north of Carlisle. About 40 miles in total. It was averaging 60mpg when joining the M6. Should have taken a pic then  :evilgrin:

Never seen that much since  :signLOL:

I think my highest sustained reading was 60.3MPG last winter going up the A74M - was very cold and quiet, so I just sat with cruise on.

Think on the way back it reverted to 46MPG!
