I will sometimes happily sit in the left hand lane at 60mph. Usually when I'm in no rush or it's very early or very late. I usually set off early enough so never in much of a rush.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

If you want to improve your mpg then take a look at the aero mod thread where by adding the blue motion mode to the under body I now manage up to 420 miles from a tank on the motor way.

or have 2 cars, I run a TDI Bora for the weekly 500mile trek, he does a very impressive average 57mpg at 65-75ish, the S3 on the same run bein very steady will do 400 miles to a tank, but where is the fun in that, so once a week it gets a run :happy2:

I did 50 motorway miles this morning heading West into these gales we are getting, and averaged 30.4 mpg. Came back East with the tailwind at 1145 and got 35.3 mpg on the same route. :jumping:

I cruise at Around 75mph (Ahem) and get a solid 31mpg on a run from Norfolk to manchester (165 miles each way), I can do it on a Tank full easily with usually 35-40 miles range left over
