41mpg!!!!
Deako:
Took the GTI on a 40 mile round trip to one of our Remarketing sites today to discover why the comms room was losing power when the generator kicks in, and upon arrival had gotten 39.2mpg average for the journey. Same roads on the way back, and when i got here the average had topped out at 41.2mpg.
OMG. Im pretty astounded by that to be honest. If i cruised in a relaxed manner in our old Ibiza 1.4 16v Sport i could only just get 43-44mpg.
Admittedly i didnt use the loud pedal that much. So most the time the car was off boost (50mph road works on M6 too), but that is very good even for a 2.0 engine.
Has anyone else managed to nurse a GTI above 40mpg? Or is the temptation to plant the right foot too much?

I've had just over 40mpg out of the S3, not very often though :smiley:
Hurdy:
Just filled mine up and just before I did it said 154miles on the trip from the last refill and 45 miles left in fuel. Once I topped up to the brim it said 190 miles on the range :surprised:
Must have been having fun! :evilgrin:
On a 55 litre tank (12.1gallon) that works out at..................
