I also left in with a range of 5 miles on the dash hehe pretty much on the very last red line. Never dragged it so low in its life too.

Thrifty to the end  :wink:  Hope the mpg in the R doesn't come as too much of a shock  :whistle:

Well, not sure what a shock is compared to the mk6 Ed 35. 25mpg? 70mph seemed to be heading towards the 35mpg range, but needs a good distance probably to get there. Will be interesting to see what the 5 miles commute to work returns, had it up to 50mpg in the GTD, expect really 20mpg in the R.

Actually I meant a shock to you as a former GTD driver.

Dunno about compared to the ed35, mine's just a normal GTI.  I get 27/28 mpg average with lots of stop start town driving/rural road/dual carriageway.  Get into early to mid 30s on motorway.  If I get an overall average 24/25 in R that'll do.

I don't really mind as I am not doing 56 miles a day to work, its now 50 a week. Oh I looked at yours and assumed edition 35 as the Glendale's were fitted. Its ok, I got 52mpg on its final journey as the range counted down fairly fast, I slow to 60 on the motorway as I wanted it to make it to the dealer parking lot. Filled the R up with shell 98 as it was the closest to the dealer, I did note that Super Unleaded is cheaper than diesel so I am saving money really!!? :undecided:

Yeah, I always use Shell V Power Nitro+ where possible anyway and I think the recommended for the R is 98 Ron.  You don't buy an R for economical mpg, so just enjoy  :cool:
