Best recorded MPG for GTI
« on: 19 May 2018, 09:58 »
OK, just for a bit of fun, please don't take this too seriously. But as I have a loaner "R" DSG at present, and on my jouney ome from work last night I'd thought I'd see what it was possible to get out of her economy wise, I was quite shocked to see an average for the 17 mile journey of 45mpg.

So it got me thinking if an "R" can get 45 mpg, surely a GTI can get 50+ mpg ?

So come on what's your best recorded (please list type, so 230ps, 245ps, DSG, manual etc).

Now before people get their knickers in a twist and state that you don't buy a GTI or R for economy I agree, this is just a bit of fun and I don't for one moment assume that's how they will be driven all the time. Just what is technically possible ?

Stuck in a long 50 zone on the M6. I think given more time I could've got more but I was quite glad to escape the boredom!

The best I've had out of mine is 42 mpg but that's not exactly hanging about.

I had a 2017 Focus ST before the Golf and best I could get out of that was 31 mpg and that was driving the same way.

Definitely counts as cheating but got 92 mpg over 10 miles on the trip while driving down from the top of Mount Penalara (8000 feet) in Spain. By the bottom, I realised I hadn't touched the throttle once in 25 minutes. Quite pleased the brakes discs didn't melt. Standard GTI.

I've had 47mpg on a trip up to loch Lomond and Skye and regularly get mid 40s to Lockerbie and back and that's not hanging around either. It's a very impressive engine and car all said.
