GT with bluefin allowed?.
If not ignore  :lipsrsealed: Average 52mpg at the moment thats since the timer went past 99 hours and reset clock 2. I can get anywhere from 47-55 on my daily trip to work about 12 miles. Depends on how cold it is a startup.

Well I've only done 1900 miles and I'm on my 5th full tank. The first one did 475 which is 43.18mpg. The second did 453 which is 38.13mpg. The third one did 483 which is 43.05mpg. The fourth one did 492 which is 42.02mpg. This is 70% local and 30% crusing driving. You can't believe what the MFD tells you the only true figure is full tank to full tank and calculate it yourself.

The claimed figure by VW is supposed to be 650 miles per tank. I'm not that impressed at the moment even thought its 25% better than my last car Rover 216 GTi. They say that these VW diesels take about 20k to loosen up so thats going to take about 3 years.  :wink:

Wow thats not as good as mine, it was reading 330ish at half tank the other day.  It does estimate 600-650 a tank. Now got nearly 2000 miles on the clock and not used a single bit of oil.

330ish. Amazing. And this with a baggy gearbox! :tongue: :evil: :laugh:

I think that maybe the loose gearbox makes it work more efficiently, had alot of spirited driving yesterday and used just over 1/4 tank to do 200 miles.  Well chuffed, got the oil temp up to 106 degrees C and had the fan stay on for ages when the car was switched off and this was at 20 degrees ambient temp at 10:30pm last night.
