Great mpg

Had approx 150 mile drive today at “running in” pace. According to We Connect 51.3 mpg Well pleased!

I managed 40 mpg this morning which involved much restraint! And I wasn’t even stuck behind a dawdling OAP. Must be the high ambient temps making the engines run leaner than a Conservative council’s public expenditure budget.

Thats extremely impressive. What version do you have and what transmission?

I too have noticed a difference in average MPG between Winter and Summer.  And it seems to change like I've flicked a switch.  Makes me wonder if the ECU is programed to switch between maps on a pre-determined date?

My GTI managed 46mpg on a motorway run the other day.

I won't say that my previous GTD probably would have done 60mpg but 

46 is pretty good I thought.

Transmission is DSG.

Definitely seeing better economy in the hot weather. I’m getting early 40s rather than late 30s on my morning commute

Temperature always makes a huge difference. On my way into work my current R hit 45mpg.

Its probably less optimal combustion and more to do with air density causing drag...

Air is 20% more dense at 0C than at 30C... thats a lot of drag.

In fact, that probably almost aligns with the difference in fuel economy...

My work commute is 40 miles motorway a road and town I can get 45 fairly easily without really trying on quiet morning run to work this time of year have had 52 really trying. Driving back enthusiastically and in traffic 38 is about where it usually  is dsg performance dsg.

Very economical for the performance you get imo.
