MK7 R Fuel Economy
col:
If you do 15k miles a year, then you shouldn't be doing it in a car like a GTI imo. What I'm saying is to get decent mpg out of a fast car you have to drive very slowly, thereby completely missing the point of owning it in the first place. Each to their own, obviously. It just seems a bit puddled to me ...

Why not? Is not a supercar or an ornament - its a hatchback, one famed for its 'all things to all men qualities'. 15k is by no means a crazy mileage.
I drive an S4 13k miles a year - whats your thoughts on that?!
I think 'decent' mpg is a relative value - but one you have to ask the question 'what MPG can I get' before we can all make our decisions based on expected mileage and how much one is prepared to spend on fuel.

Like I said, each to their own. I'm not trying to convince anyone I'm right, simply my opinion.
I just think it's a bit like shopping in expensive stores. If you have to ask for the price, then you probably can't afford it ...
Maybe we should both live with the fact we amuse each other?

Drive it. Enjoy it. There's a thinly veiled message in this great story.

I didnt read it all but i get the gist and 100% agree. If I could afford a V10 R8 or a GT4 then I would use it as a daily no problem.
My ED30 pails into car legend insignificance compared to the 1M but its done 75,000m under my ownership.
Cars are for driving. Dont worry about the MPG, just drive it and fill it back up again... and if that as much as crosses your mind as being a problem then you should get a 1.4tdi bluemotion polo. (or a push bike) :smiley:
