Did a longish trip the other and just crossed over 400 miles, with 1/8th of a tank left. Will post up final result!

@david25 How did you get 404 miles out of tank? Best I have done is 370 miles and I was bored stiff!!
 
I tried getting the best mileage I could when I first got the GTI, then got bored and was much happier with my 31 mpg on motorways at 90 I mean 70  :laugh:

I'm currently at about 280 miles with about a third of my tank left... I'm not sure if I'll use my GTI much since it's for sale, but if I do, I accept your challenge.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

LOL The point of this thread was to help out guys that are in a similar position to me before i bought my gti.
I am 41 with 3 kids and have had loads of high performance diesels.
I wanted something quick but didn't want to buy a golf gti then find out i was going to get
spanked on the mpg. I debated getting the 170 tdi.
But in the end i plumpted for the golf gti. and 3 months on i know it was the right decision.

If u are having a bad pay week u can take it easy and save the fuel. If your having
a good week u can give it the nuts.

I know this will be an alien concept to some younger drivers with more free cash.

Lol god i loved them days.

 :P How so? If I'm relatively sensible it'll be 50+, sure I could push 60's if I was that bothered! :grin:

I did 400 miles and still had just under 1/4 tank in my old K03 GTI. Cheshire to Scottish highlands, mild weather, very steady driving. Just over 40mpg  :happy2:

My Ed30 managed a flukey 46.7mpg on 95RON over 25 miles 2nd day of ownership  :laugh:

Ah! Haha, I did wonder if that's what you meant! :ashamed:
I'd like a GTI or an .:R but I tend to do a fair amount of miles these days, my TDI isn't that slow though :driver: :signLOL:

Haha yeah quite a decline majority of the journey
Usually struggle to see 28mpg on the commute home amongst the rush hour rat race  :driver:

Do quite often see 40mpg on decent motorway runs if kept at 80mph or less (430 miles on a tank)  :happy2:
