25 mpg for me but I didn't buy it for fuel economy. Sometimes it touches 30mpg on a motorway run of distance. I will cover around 6K this year.

Very pleased with the price of fuel at the moment !

Oh good, somebody averaging less than me  :grin:
ye but booth that's an ed35 yours isn't meaning you have heavy right foot syndrome  :evil:

Haha, I forgot Peters' is an ed35

Ah well, guilty as charged then  :kiss:

Over 5 years and 13k miles

:shocked:   Barely worth getting it out of the garage.

I'll have had my Mk2 for 5 years in February. I've done 3,400 miles in it.  :laugh:

Yeah but your mk2 is a show car.

Nobody has a mk6 gti as just a show car   :tongue: :grin:
Im sorry that me having more than one car and me spreading my mileage between them depending on what im doing or what im carrying or towing or the weather is so upsetting to you.
I could sell them all as they aren't worth a great deal and that should just about cover the cost to jump on the latest mk7R band wagen but I would get bored of driving the same car day in, day out within a few months.

Snoopy, I have no issue with however many cars you own, or how and when you choose to drive them.  Come on, it's just a bit of lighthearted banter  :huh:  Certainly no offence intended.  You're lucky to have a great choice of cars at your disposal. 

If I only wanted a 7R to 'jump on the bandwagon', I'd have got one by now.

I've not long had mine back with a new engine put in. Turbo, gearbox etc has 50K miles on. Before the new engine I was getting around 26-28 average.

Obviously I haven't been blasting it recently but since the new engine and geometry check, over 300miles I've averaged 31MPG thats with driving in the town and a couple of 30mile B road journeys!

I'm always amused when reading about fuel consumption of petrol cars. I know you don't buy a GTI for it's fuel consumption, but for the vast majority of the time when you can't make any more progress than the line of crawling traffic in front, you might as well have the benefit of an engine that's just sipping tiny amounts of fuel.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

It will do 40 on a run, maybe a bit more driven carefully.

28-33 in day to day driving.
