If you drive it hard.
Just to warn the swarm of secondhanders that are trying to buy a Mk5 GTI.

Yes, and then when u take it out of reverse and engage fwd gears, the economy gets better!!! :laugh:

TBH, if I drive mine "spiritedly"  I average 28mpg. In normal "road conditions" driving, I average 33mpg all day long. On the motorway at a steady 80mph, 36mpg is normal, Just to balance the argument...........

Im on the motorway most of the time to and from work, where I will drive relatively relaxed, although it is stop/start sometimes.

Hopefully, by the end of the week I'll still have some in the tank to burn ;)

I do around 280 miles a week, and as long as I get at least a full weeks worth out of a single tank, I'll be happy ;)

On another note, how much does it roughly cost to fill the tank these days??

Roughly about the price indicated on the fuel station pump, multiplied by the quantity of litres delivered by said pump!  :smug:

I don't know!  I just fill the bast@rd up, and load up my credit card!  :embarassed:
