Mine is still new and the garage said it takes a few thousand miles before it losens up.  However, the trip computer says 56mph avarage so far.  That is a mixture of motorway and short trips.

700 to a tank?!? Bloody hell I'm lucky if I reach 440 in my 140 PS.
Think the best I got was when I went to Sunderland last week for the Coldplay gig and drove at 60mph all the way. I managed to get 550 out that tank.

Here's my latest log entry, I was late for work two mornings, so the hammer was put down and screwed my > 700 mile run out the window.

No   Date   Type   Location   Litres   Gallons   Cost   Miles   MPG   L/100k   £/Mile   £/Litre   Total Miles
30   15/06/2012   Regular   BP   53.91   11.85853725   74.89   692.6   58.41   4.84   0.11   1.38916713   15741

Just saying if you drive like a granny 700 miles is possible. 

Most of this is with cruise, will have to give it a go with right foot control.....

You must have something wrong, I get 550 miles from my Passat V6 TDI day to day. (albeit from a 62 liter tank) If I do a long steady motorway drive without using cruise in the Golf, I can get around 65mpg according to the computer. That would give a theoretical range of 780 miles.

I only get about 500-550 in my 170ps the only thing wrong with me is my heavy right foot, i could never get 780 miles from a tank i would die of bordom first  :grin:

I can manage for the short commute to work but the rest of time drive normally  :evil:

I've seen 72mpg on the mfd but that is when travelling A roads.
My general commute to work and back is 24 miles all in, mostly on a deserted motorway. But given I am always late in leaving I tend to go xxx fast so that is probably my downfall.

My rough maths make your mpg around 44mpg, which is pretty good when pushing on. Drive a GTI the same way and it'd be way down in the 20's. It's all relative really.
