Quick update. 1000 miles covered now. Average mpg is 38mpg. In my last tank I did 410 miles of mixed driving with at least 70/80 of them attacking b-roads. I'm very impressed especially as the tank is only 50l compared to 55. The range showed 20 miles so that shows 450 miles is well do-able when engine beds in more. No that is my only post regarding mpg as I usually never care about mpg in a GTI !! The things I do for you guys  :laugh: :laugh:

I've only done about 160 miles but my trip details showed 400 miles total potential of what has been mixed driving with a reasonable amount of motorway driving.  Very impressed, although after showing off in it tonight to my mate, that average MPG will have dropped some!  :grin:  Like you though, I tend not to monitor it as it is what it is and you accept that when you buy the car.

400 from the last few fill ups.

That's 20 better with 5l a smaller tank.

Just done shy of 1000 miles now and averaging 33.2mpg which is okay, not great but not terrible. Certainly better than my TT where I was getting approx 29mpg so an improvement for me in that respect
