Having just taken delivery of my ed35 And racked up 400 miles this week I was wondering what other are experiencing in MPG? I am sat on 28mpg trip from Cheltenham-London-mid Wales.
-
I've had ed35 since Jan and can say it's not so good on the MPG and my last MK6 GTI. Your trip reading is about right at 28mpg I'm afraid.
A long run you might get 30 odd MPG, However if you boot it you can just about see the gauge dropping down... :sad:
Saying that I love the motor and that's the price you have to pay for a good car... :smiley:
-
im surprised its so low, i usually average around 38mpg doing about 80mph on a good motorway run on my MK6 GTI, i thought the ED35 would be very similar seeing as it isn't a massive power increase
-
I'm shocked at your figures guys, a tank average for me is 33 mpg, Ive managed a 40 mpg journey to work once or twice but this was proper miss daisy driving! I did start a post of this before but got slated, ha ha!
-
And I'm sure we will get slated again... :grin:
I can get 30 odd mpg but you have to drive with a light foot on the pedal...

Nearly 3000 miles I haven't averaged less than 30 over a tankful.
Hammering it does kill the mpg though! Use super unleaded, it lets the engine go into stratified mode more, using less fuel :wink:
-
Unfortunatly the Ed 35 has the older engine and isn't as efficent as the GTI. (Well I think anyway).
-
How do you guys average 30+ in an Ed35.. I'm on 27mpg and that was with a couple long runs pushing it up... and that's a standard GTI and I run 99 RON. :grin: That said most of my driving is town or A roads when I can give it some, I hardly have a light right foot. :tongue:

That's about what I average in standard GTi, maybe slightly less on same fuel, but nearly all town driving and rural roads, some A roads, occasional motorway. I too am surprised at figures of 30mpg upwards but I guess if you're doing longer runs that's the difference.

Do you have your computer set to 1 or 2?
-
To make people feel better, town runs get about 25! I do a fair bit of motorway which push's mine up
-
Yeah the standard GTI has a more fuel efficient engine around 3mpg more. 60mph cruise control on A road journey bring around 32-34 mpg. Not to bothered about economy as daily only do 3 miles but interested to see what others get.
-
I am running a Mk6 GTi and a MK5 Edition 30 ( same engine as Edition 35 )at the moment.
Mk6 averages 30mpg around town and can easily push this to 40-45 mpg on a run
Mk5 Edition 30 averages 28 around town and can push this to 35-40 mpg on a run
Both run on Shell V power
Mk6 definitely more efficient but not as much fun

I don't really look at the computer, I only have it to display oil temp. I use Fuelly - http://www.fuelly.com/driver/scottandrews/gti

60mph cruise control on A road journey bring around 32-34 mpg.
You should get more MPG not using cruise control as you can read the road while cruise can't.
-
35mpg is pretty much my average when cruising on the motorway between 70-80mph.
I regard that as pretty good - my little 2005 Renault Clio 1.2 used to do a similar mpg!
Mark 7 GTI's claimed 47mpg sounds very good to me though!
-
I take it thats why the ED35 get seriously stung in the car tax bracket :sick:..........Wheres that justification in this Dick Turpin government :angry:?
-
Very impressed with our MK6 GTi with it averaging around 32mpg....be interesting to see how it compares once its gone stage 2 in the new year :evil:
-
around town the K04 is a killer, 17mpg urban last week in london (when i foolishly used the golf)
i think 30-35 is as good as i get on mine generally is in the 20s, generally after a fill up gives a range of 280 on the tanks, last few weeks that has said 235 :rolleyes:
-
Talking of mpg, my mrs used my 35 all week due to me being laid up with a back issue. So I said to her use mine seeing as we've cleaned yours and mine was full of fuel. So today was the first time I've been able to drive in two weeks, first thing I do is go to check the computer and crafty sod had reset both when she got home today. she was sat next to me when i checked with a big fat grin in her fave! Bet she's been ragging her all week.
-
Im getting about 28mpg around town in the mk6 GTi and on the motorway with no traffic about 35-38mpg
I did get it up to 42 mpg once on a run to Manchester from Birmingham but i have no idea how i managed that wasnt giving it the beans but also wasnt trying to drive it carefully.
Wanna run it on a tank og vpower to see how that works with the car.
-
I read alot about higher octane fuels, from my own experience of trying it on 3 GTI,s ive had i really dont think it makes a difference, especialy with the cost difference. I couldnt notice any performance gain either.
Im about to go for a Revo 95ron map as im not after the ultimate power gain

Both!

Nice one!
I managed 39mpg on my journey to work today, I tested myself and that's a steady run sticking to the speed limits inc dual carriage way etc.

That must of been a painfull drive!

Never over 30.... I ve come to accept this now. I did have one run on the A9 where I got to 35, but blew it all away on a 10 mile B road. On Shell V Max I get about 360 to a tank, with cruise on 70-82(...). Just got back from a 1,000 mile trip from London to Scotland and over to the west coast. What a car...! Had an empty car for parts but 4 people and fully laden with luggage for others on some of the greatest roads in Scotland (tarbert to Crieff, via Lochearn). I was amazed how well it pulled, in 3rd and above 5,000 rpm it jumps to overtake. I had a 9hr drive and felt absolutely fine afterwards, it didn't put a foot wrong. Practical, fast and comfy...honestly can't fault the car. That's my little VW love in over.

Those roads in Scotland are ace! I hired a Caterham SV for two days and just nailed it. Brilliant fun and great weather which made it.

Tbh it's quite chilled, the roads I go on I sometimes never see another car and I use that time to properly wake up :laugh:

Ive just done the A9 to Inverness and return to Lithgy via Ft William and the A82. Round trip of 400miles and not quite driving "Miss Daisy" :laugh: and the odd overtaking thrash :evil: but managed 36.1mpg :smiley:
-
Never had better than 35 when really trying. Often get 30-32 but my average over 12,000 miles is 30. ED35 doesn't reward by being careful so I have stopped trying and just have fun.

36!!! You must have a light right foot or a very well behaved car. Agree with this last post.....we didn't buy these things for MPG. What's the difference with a few 2 or 3 mpgs amongst friends...
-
Now days if i get a anything in the 30s then i have been well behaved.
The only good thing on a cold morning is make a bit of 4pot noise with the whistle :whistle: of the turbo adding to the experience.
If i wanted 40mpg+ then would of gone for the GTD but i wanted something fun before fuel reaches the £2 marl. :laugh:

Spot on mate :smiley:

Alot of reviewers say the mpg is a bit naff for this car...I've just had a 1.2 Fiesta for a week in southern Italy, over the week that averaged 7.2 l/km...which is 36mpg. And I was driving carefully...partly cos it was a bit rubbish compared with the Golf, but mostly as the fuel was 2 Euro's a litre!!!
I'll bet if someone followed in the Golf the entire time, so doing the same driving, it would easily be into the 30's. Not that bad I reckon :evil:
