17 months in and 10500 miles struggle to get anywhere near 40 on a run, mid 20's around town.
At what mileage did everyone see an improvement after being "run in" properly.

I mostly get 25 ave over a tank when mostly round town and got 35 the other day on a run including town and some motorways. Completely depends on your journey and traffic conditions.

My commute is 115km round trip in rural Ireland. I leave for work very early so roads are very quiet. I don’t hang around by any stretch and my average is 40mpg easily over the contents of a tank. 700km from a tank is no problem. It’s all about the journey. When my wife takes the car in and around town she struggles to see 30mpg. Anyway, it’s a GTi so economy doesn’t matter.
Ps my car is tuned to 305bhp and only other mods are pedalbox and Sachs upgraded clutch.
