Thanks, Fred.  I expect our petrol in Aus probably has great variances in line with our wider climate extremes.

Do they account for our Manchester goodness (AKA Rain)!!!  :rolleyes:

I'm really impressed with my Clubsport I was on 46mpg on a run down to Solihull from Manc the other day it dipped to a 44mpg overall after a quick blast from the M6 toll booths. 300bhp and 44 mpg is astonishing.

Overall from start I've averaged 36.9mpg according to We Connect and 35.4 calculated which I consider pretty good too and in line with an already well run previous Golf. I suspect this will increase over time with longer journeys again.

That’s cheaper than 10 years ago. I bet you’re earning more than you were then.

In real terms I’m earning far less now than then.
Hence I still give a stuff how much fuel costs!  :grin:

My number presentation is nearly as bad as my grammar!  :whistle:
