Right as promised here's a piccy 



I drove from dewsbury to wigan. I was in first lane all the way doing 60MPH. When i got there it was averging at 39.8, so kept driving like a slug through wigan, and it went up to 40.2 on local roads.

So i joined motorway heading back towards home and i got it upto 42.8 at 60MPH. Then i took it upto 70MPH and kept it there for about 10 Mins, and it came down averging 40.1. so reduced the speed down to 60MPH and i started rising again which gave me 43.6.

Didn't buy my gti and vr6 to get good mpg. 8v is normally 25 and vr6 is about 17.

If I wanted over 40mpg I would buy something 1.0litre and French 

You must kick the arse out the both of them lol.....

8v is just town driving and vr6 is town driving with it being loud

Lol....I had never been in trouble with the law in over ten years prior to getting my vr6, got hit with an asbo within weeks for gunning it off a roundabout heading onto the motorway.

Can do that in a vr!

I got 34mpg going to gti inters last year and it was fast 90mph cruising (and some spirited driving through macclesfield on way home). Also a few laps round the inters airbase until we got told to stop 

Mate in his saab 2.0t aero used more fuel

Got stuck behind a bus today and thought I would see what it can do. Got 42 and that's with a cam so was happy, but next time I will overtake the bus. The car didn't like going that slow!
