i drive 8 miles to work on a mixture of 30mph and bypass (60!?) mph and i never see less than 28 29 on the way to work, however on the way home i often see 32 33? same roads, traffic similar. weird!
My average on the obc is 29.8 and lead foot gets his way 9/10!!

Is it uphill going to work?!  :grin:

Na not at all, its all very flat!! Id understand if it was uphill on the way and down on the back!!  :laugh:

Is the engine already warm when you set off for home??

I would understand if it was the otherway around. I often get 27-30mpg on the way to work, but only 22mpg on the way home :lipsrsealed:

But then I do like to get home a little quicker than i like to get to work :evil:

I drive both 170GT and Ed 30.
Both are used on similar types of journey and if anything the diesel is driven a little harder..............
170 averages 42mpg, Ed 30 averages 31 mpg.  :wink:

I think I own the best MPG for the gti!

I did 582 miles to a tank (sitting at 56mph behind various different lorries after I saw on Mythbusters about a 60% increase in MPG if you slipstream a lorry)

I'm on 23p a mile from work so by getting almost 600 miles from a tank instead of 300 it doubles my income!

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

You must have a lot of patience  :laugh:   

How far behind the lorries do you travel  -  I'd be afraid of all the grit they chuck off their rear tyres chipping my front end  :rolleyes: :grin:
