how long did it take your GTI to loosen up and get decent MPG?

Paulm007,for that mpg figure, you must have very few traffic lights in your area, or in a rural location and not town centre as you will never achieve those figures in the town, expect 26-27 for town owners or 31-33 for the country folks., using 99 octane of course

[jonathonturner]

way to go!

i'd be checking them front tyres if i was you!!

Cant wait to get Michelin Pilot Sport ps2's 

20 MPG, Nice !!

I have got just under 3000 on the clock now and average 30 mpg (mostly A and B roads, v little m/way)

I'm sure it was 20.1 last night, sorry, I got it wrong

i'm with you on that..will swap em round at about 5k miles, then at 10, pilot sports all around....they will transform the car of that i'm positive.

nearly 3 months and 5k on my ED30.  Given up nursing it to get 30+mpg - decided to enjoy driving on daily basis (in the outbacks of Norfolk) and getting 27/28 mpg.  Small price to pay to enjoy your car that little bit more.

Had my manual GTI since March, 3500 miles on the clock. Averaging about 33mpg and I dont hang about some days.

fulled since day with with Shell V power, usually get on a run 38mpg, I have 42mpg on a motorway journey before on M4, i even took photos of the computer as couldnt beleive it (did drive like a grandad though.)

My commute to work is 7 miles and I dont generally floor it in the mornings, and I average always 28mpg on the computer as I pull in to me parking space.

mines now gone to 23. something, goes down very quick even with the smalest burst of power :p

I can get 40mpg out of mine on the motorway now (10k, ed30, DSG) If I stick to 70-80 mph.

Drive 10 miles each way to work, A roads and go through 3 sets of lights so not too much stop starting but do travel at peak times.  Pretty happy with 30 mpg and don't dawdle much at all.  Did manage to get it down to 16 mpg on my Castle Combe day

High 20s around town, low 30s on fast B roads and mid to high 30s on a motorway at 75-80 with cruise control.
