I think the cupra(150) was doing 58mpg on a good run from braknell to croydon last night.

[Strung Out]

i tend to average around 45-50mpg and have got 480-ish miles out of the last 2 tanks. it's neither town nor motorway driving it's 'a17' driving... i.e.40-50mph over a 35 mile stretch

[JonnoGti]

Yeah those sats are about the same as mine. So thats a relief. I knew it was good. But im sure I saw some people saying they get 500/600 miles. Which for me is only possible on motorway driving, and taking it really easy. But that takes half the fun away. With my style of driving, giving at caining every now and then, 475 miles is ideal. Remembering its 130bhp. My 180 was doing about 300 on a full tank!

Still new to this myself but am I right in thinking that there is a sticker in the boot that gives the Kw rating of the engine?

there is indeed, by the spare wheel and if it says 96KW then its a 130 TDI 

i get aobut 420 but i fill up when i've still got about 15 litres left so as not to drag up the crud from the bottom of the tank. I do have a heavy right foot mind.....

I've done around 2k since buying my 110 GT TDI and my overall average is 50 mpg. I tend to use the car to get to work: 52 mile round trip and a couple of trips to mid Wales a month, 360 miles round trip.
