MK7 R Fuel Economy

(1/5) > >>

garrardrj:
Seen elsewhere on the internet that combined economy is 40.9mpg

So whats your real world economy like ? Your urban mpg would be interesting too .

GrayMK5GTI:
I haven't got one yet. . . But done plenty of research as motorway cruise MPG is important to me.

Seems 40+mpg is achievable if you know how to drive gently  :happy2:

Seems to be similar figures to the MK5 GTI which suits me

garrardrj:
But thats not "real world mpg" if you drive a performance car gently to get decent mpg

You read all over the media about Porsche Ferrari Aston Martin Jaguar and the RS4 RS6 etc doing over 20mpg whereas you will be lucky to get 15mpg , now the MK7 has half of those engines (4 cylinders instead of 8) so i would expect around 30mpg if you drive it like it is intended .

Deako:
30mpg on a steady run. 40mpg on an uber restrictive motorway jaunt. 18-25mpg when driving.

THIS.

I'd be happy with around 30mpg average. That's what my Ed30 managed on trip 2.

I'm only really bothered about decent mpg when cruising  :smiley:

As I said earlier, from plenty of reading, they seem similar on fuel to mk5 GTI. 20ish around town or when "on it"
