Golf R mpg?

[Exonian]

My GTI PP manual is easily doing 40-45mpg on my 41 mile trip to work ranging from 50mph to 75mph speeds. 

I badly need to learn to drive then a both my mk6 GTIs did around 33mpg (one was modified too) and my mk7 struggles to get past 30mpg average and it's not used much for town work and never ever gets thrashed.

I've touched 38 on a 150 mile motorway trip with ACC set at 75, but it averaged around 35mpg, round town depending on how you drive it'll either be mid 20's or high teens, mines not run in yet so it will improve, could be worse though.

I don't know how you manage it Jimble but you always get considerably more mpg than I do.  Must be the way I drive 

I'll be very happy to get anything nearing late 20's average mpg when I eventually get an R.

The R is manual though which imo makes a big difference regardless of what VW say, it actually makes me smile when i put the R in "Race" mode and the mpg takes a dive!! It's so worth it for the noise!!!

Quit gloating Jimble.  I can't even order mine till next May, the wait is going to be agonising

My R has been at Emden since what feels like the dawn of time. So frustratingly close, yet so far.

I used to get a easy 24 mpg out of my Golf R32, 36 mpg on a good motorway run.
It's a shame that the real-world efficency differences havent really moved on a great deal in the 10 years of engine development.
