Average mpg?

[xjay1337]

Just wondering what else the difference could be, mines probably higher mileage but that shouldn't affect it. Doesn't bother me too much as 35 is tollerable but you'd think both cars should achieve the same  

Oh and I generally run on supermarket fuel as it didn't seem to like premium stuff round town, but will try swapping again soon

Mines just ticked over to 100k!
Mileage shouldn't effect anything really :)
I do run premium fuel though so perhaps that's the difference haha.

Bit more info would help, is it standard?

Mines stage 2+. So all the support stuff/map.

I have once got 51. But never replicated it. Mid-40s is what I generally get when taking my time. No rush, just nice and gentle everything, no hard acceleration. Sit at 70.

Easily get 38+ on a motorway journey stick it on cruise at 70mph happy days.

Think I replied to you on another thread, find it interesting yours always does better than mine given they are both 06 5dr DSGs. I haven't got cruise (yet) so maybe that's it.

Odd :)
Got a few times when I've had over 42! Highest so far was 41.8 which was a 70mph cruise (including some horrible traffic) to a meet over 65 miles. Included a hoof down a slip road.

Jay I could match your figures in my K03 GTI, I really think all these cars are capable of 40+mpg, it's just some of us have the ability to drive like a nun and others don't 

I got 40mpg from my Civic Type-R's too, so I doubt it's just me being lucky enough to get cars that are better on fuel than others, it must be driving style

One is a gti, one is a gt tdi  ????

They are both GTIs?

Would cruise control help then? I might pull the plugs, change the air filter etc just to be sure but 28 does seem a bit low compared to most.

Some people say cruise control increases mpg. I only use mine on an empty motorway with little overtaking

[xBERTOx]

Hmm, I'll give it a try then. I know it's not the brakes binding at the fronts were just replaced and there is no excess heat from any wheel when I've checked after a drive. Time to get a new DV and air filter I guess, the tuning begins again...

[xBERTOx]

Is £38 a decent price for a k&n panel air filter? Seems ok to me but then I'm used to Audi's prices, and with audi it's nee butter and nee kisses

[JoeDarKa]

Have you scanned it?

[xBERTOx]

Scanned what mate?

[JoeDarKa]

The car using VCDS?

[lycanthrope]

35.9 on a 2hr journey yesterday, Did hit horrible traffic on the m25 though... 5dr DSG with cruise set most of the way

[xBERTOx]

Not yet, gonna pop over to vw and see if it needs a recall and see if they will take a look

[Upperoilcan]

The highest return ive seen on mine is 35mpg which was on a 100 mile journey (mostly motorway).my daily commute is 6 miles in and 6 miles back,i get on average 26mpg.

[Stevepd]

I've got a 32 mile each way trip of A road & dual carriage way & I'm getting 38 sometimes 39/40. Bogo standard non-DSG. and don't forget the combined is 35 something.
