After 30,000 miles my average fuel consumption is around 38.5mpg (even with the fairly old tech 6 cog wet DSG box). Happy with that :)

I could get 40mpg out of my mk7 GTI with a bit of effort. Struggled to get mid thirties in mk5.
Mk7 R has similar fuel economy to a mk5 but mk7 GTI pretty good on fuel if you're cruising, that extra torque makes it so much more economical.
