Here u go,
On the down trip 53.8 Mpg on the trip just a shade over 3.5 hours and 213 miles, the crusie was either 78 or 80 all the way with an exception of 5 miles on the M74 and when we got go the M602 then into Manchester
On the up leg 48 Mpg same cruise setting's with even less slow traffic. the round trip was 51 mpg... average speed down was 61 up was 67. In total 445 clock read 90 miles left in the tank

If you use the figures you quote then 535 miles to a full tank and 55 litre fill it only works out as 44.26mpg
Diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
On Order: Mk8 R, Pure White, Reversing Camera, Harmon Kardon, Heated seats all round.
Gone: Mk7.5 R, 5dr, DSG, Deep Pearl Black, 18” Cadiz, Nav, Winter Pack, Keyless, Dynaudio and Reversing camera.
Gone: Mk7 R, 5dr, DSG, Limestone Grey, 19" Pretoria's, Nav Pro, DCC, Winter Pack, Keyless, Mobile Prep and Reversing Camera.

Wish I had brimmed the tank before leaving i could have been at least half a gallon short , can't think why I did not not.   

Could the MDF be that far out ?

I'm driving like miss Daisy on this tank with the map on full to the brim, will keep this going, on the next fill up I'll remove the map and drive like miss daisy again just to see...Will take a wee while though as no trips planned and work is a 20 ish mile round trip...

I must have been about 3/4 of a gallon off full, as I thought it was strange for the needle to move after only 50 miles on the down journey. I'm doing my normal work run done 70 miles so far and the needle is still full...

My fuel needle doesn't start dropping until I get to at least 80 miles.

Well by way of comparison the most I have ever had out my remapped GTI (petrol) is 485 miles with the 55 miles left on the range.  That was on a run from Motherwell (Scotland) to Dover. My average speed on the run was mid 50's due to a combination of regular motorway driving at 65mph and then the lovely average speed areas. I completed the journey at night so there was very little traffic.

I've worked this out on the basis of a 55 litre tank (which I assume the petrol has) as an average of 44.6 mpg which...
If you use the figures you quote then 535 miles to a full tank and 55 litre fill it only works out as 44.26mpg

... if we compare to the OP is actually better in a "GTI more fuel efficient than GTD" shocker.  :grin:

(Ok so I was driving slower   :grin:)
