Well I did it.

Amazingly without even trying broke the magical 50mpg in the new GTI. Actually got 50.4 overall for my 16 miles journey home, no doubt helped by the roadworks that kept motorway speeds (for 5 miles) at 50mph. Actually when I came off the motorway it was reading 53.9mpg, but I hit every set of traffic lights on my 3 miles to home from the motorway exit otherwise it would have been even better ! 8)

This car just keeps surprising me. Might have to lift the bonnet and make sure they didn't acidentally put another diesel lump under there   ;D

My new best in my 2013 Gti PP is 45.2mpg. No idea how some of you are hitting much higher numbers!? Do the DCC settings make a big difference?

Maybe fuel too - as mine is a daily, and I'm doing a fair few miles I tend to use normal 95Ron petrol - if I switch to the more expensive premium unleaded will I see better mpg?

MrJollyGood - how many miles do you do? I understand that premium fuel will improve mpg slightly but of course costs more too. If you keep your car for a long time/high mileage then an added benefit of premium fuel would be improving engine life (depends on a few other things as well though...)
