Ok, to be a little more specific:

City/Town  - 27mpg
Town/rural good - 29mpg
Motorway - 33mpg

At the minute predominantly congested city driving, so just hitting 27mpg.  Only going to get worse when I eventually get round to getting an R.

You haven't said what your average is yabot  :whistle:

On a long run i can hit 37 mpg, around town about 30 mpg.

Pretty sure i don't drive it right though as I'm normally in a diesel van all week which gets 16 mpg and average pump stops every other day at £80 + a time, glad I don't pay!  :evil:

Over 5 years and 13k miles my average using the brim to brim method is just over 33mpg.
Its used 99% of that time as a commuter tool 15 miles each way from April till November from rural Durham through the centre of Newcastle.
My TDI is currently only averages  41mpg on the same journeys. :embarrassed:
