this morning i got 32 cruising along the motorway at 70 and only accelerating very softly but i reckon i could get 35 if i really try, but its just a bit dull, most of the time i cant resist giving it a bit of welly and get between 26-28mpg's  :happy2:

4000 miles on the clock and car is telling me my average is 31.7mpg although I'm aware they can be inaccurate.  Thats a mix of motorway and b roads on a 40 mile daily commute with some shorter runs in between.

GTI - Manual:

Motorway, anything in exess of 34mpg. I was getting 41mpg the other day on a trip back from Kent.

Town, in normal driving conditions expect to get around 25-30mpg. On my usual trip to uni I regularly see 32mpg which is a 20-mile mixture of high-speed dual carrigeway driving and town driving.

Enthusiastic driving, low 20's!

I have a Jetta 2.0 Tfsi so same engine but the car is heavier. I am Revo stage 1 and my personal best was 39, that was an 11 mile journey and i hit 3 red lights, mix of 60, 40 and 30mph roads.  :innocent:

Average around town etc would be between 28-31 though

Are you serious?
You sure you're driving a GTI??!!

On a run, driving sensibly, Ive never seen an average of over 39mpg!
I cant believe its possible to get up to 61mpg from a GTI!

not a gti but a diesel but it should make you feel better ...

A3 2.0 TDi 140ps DSG with superchips map, 30 miles per day average is 35mpg thats driving however i feel, with a little respect it'll hit 39mpg, on a long run its around 46mpg. I currently have 340 miles on this tank and the light is about to come on.

....

Consistently around 28 mpg over nearly 4 years and except when on European trips (22 mpg) or training (11 mpg lowest seen for one day).

I'm surprised by the wide variety of mpg amongst GTI owners.
