My GTI will do a max of 47 on the motorway sitting at ~70 and my usual urban drive 30-32, but more to the point why is your dash so dirty when you post so much on DW?? :-X
Is yours DSG by any chance? As im getting slightly better than yours and that would make sence if so from past experience with the mk5's

It's a manual mate, how much better is yours? You've got me worried now...
only by a couple of mpg but that could be road conditions. DSG in general is 10% less from experience.

That symbol next to the km/h row is the bluetooth symbol which I had switched on at the time.

What year is your GTD as that may mean that the setups are different?
April 2010, my bluetooth only shows up in the pages to the right for the phone stuff.

Best I've managed on a "decent" journey, (Hampshire to South Wales, around 130 miles), was 58.1 MPG in my 2009 GTD Manual.  Mostly motorway driving.  Overall average over the 5000 or so miles I've done since buying it is nearer 48 MPG.  But then I'm a bit of an old-timer and I'm often more interested in getting a high MPG than having fun with the car.   :rolleyes:
