An Apology to all GTI owners

[GTI CV7]

I'm lucky if I get 300 miles on a tank of super juice... and my front tyres are down to 3mm with 6,000 on the clock. As they say, it's smiles per gallon not miles per gallon.

my record is 480 miles - what speed where you driving at? 30mph 

About 55- 60.

Sad, I know

i can only dream of some of the figures quoted on this thread. When i got my ED30 we were running it in and i was averaging about 27mpg, and i thought that was bad. Now run in and doing the daily commute we have been as low as 23-24mpg. 30mpg+ seems like a whole world away. I dont think i could achieve that even if i tried! Maybe there is something wrong with the car.

ps - i have never not used my paddles, too tempting having them there!

Now my Gti is run in (well mostly at 3300 miles) she is averaging a long term 33mpg. Not too bad and she does take some heavy right foot action as well and stop start dual carriageways.

i cant belive some of you guys are only getting 23-25mpg's.

On a full tank im hitting around 330 - 350miles around the town (circa 27 - 30mpg) and i dont drive under 30mph nor do i let my revs go under 2000!

Havent really taken it for a long trip anywhere yet.........

but maximus, i bet you live on the outskirts of town and dotn live in the big smoke, mine will average about 32 outa town on B roads and A roads, but she will only get between 26-28 town posing
