I was wondering this. I've been driving like my nan since my last fill up and I got 28mpg.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't buy the car for the mpg but was More interested in exactly what I could achieve and apparently it's not a lot!
Unless your Nan likes her trackdays, that's pretty poor - I can easily get 35MPG, over 40 on a run with no more than 70mph... it's all about the amount of throttle, anticipating slowing down etc. etc.
I found it better after Stage 1 than stock for the sensible driving....
For mixed driving pushing on a bit using the torque band, around 30-33MPG is usual.
Completely tearing it up and it's mid teens
MUCH better than my mates ST though... I couldn't get it over 30MPG... and had it down to 9MPG over a few miles of spirited driving... all in all I reckon the ST is ~ 7-10MPG worse than the GTI. And now I'm on Stage 1 the GTI is quicker too.
Thanks for filling with me confidence! Unfortunately my nan doesn't like her track days
Over 30mpg on a run? I wish! It's 15miles for me to get to work and it's mostly dual carriageways, only about 2 miles involves traffic lights.
Which remap do you have?
Ouch, didn't realise st's were that bad, definitely coudnt afford to run one of those...
