is there something wrong with me? i only get an average of 25mpg in my eddy (can't resist the power) 30 tops if i behave. mostly A road commute, couple of roundabouts, hardly any traffic 15 miles each way.

You've got the same problem I do, lead feet.

I get between 22mpg and 25mpg avg in my stage 1 k03 gti. I'm going stage 2+ as well soon so its only going to get worse  :driver:

The difference between driving smoothly between 60 - 70 and driving between 80 - 90 with a few bursts is huge for economy.

My K03 GTI used to do 40+mpg all the time. Bloody ed30 only good for about 37-38mpg  :sad1:

Is your foot made from feathers?

I'll second that, if I drive motorway at 80 - 90km/hr I can get around 40+ mpg on my K03 GTI after about 70 miles.

Although I typically get 28mpg per tank standard city driving.
