What's everyones MPG these days?
Just thought it would be helpful to see what kind of economy everyone is getting from their GTIs.
A trip yesterday along the A303 , not going much above 70 with CC on, got me about 38 Mpg. (£25 for 160 miles).

That sounds about right, I've had 44mpg as an average doing a constant 60mph to and from work on the country roads. I got about 40mpg down the m/way to Early edition.

Re: What's everyones MPG these days?
I used to get around 40 when commuting. Now it's a toy, 30 is generally good.
The 330d can get up to 50, but my word is it boring doing that!

Re: What's everyones MPG these days?
i drove back from RTTS 360Miles on a tank 38 MPG i worked out.
Re: What's everyones MPG these days?
I get between 37 and 42mpg depending how I drive on a long commute on mainly A roads. I am pretty happy with that. I have not noticed a difference between using normal unleaded and super unleaded on fuel economy but it does feel a bit crisper and more responsive using super unleaded, not sure if that is just wishful thinking though. would you notice the power difference between them both?
Re: What's everyones MPG these days?
Sound like an idiot for asking but how do you find out what your mpg is? i cant see anything around my dials for mpg.....

Next time you fill up,brim the tank and reset the trip-meter, the next time after note the Trip reading and Litres to brim again,your MPG is worked out by Trip reading divided by Litres times 4.546...
Easy

Re: What's everyones MPG these days?
I'm doing a 100 miles a day in my Polo on the commute to work mainly motorway driving
I can get about 44 MPG quite easily as its only the last 5 miles or so that i'm in built up areas.
Once got it up to 48 MPG but I am talking some seriously anal driving here, just wanted to see how far I could push it!
