Looks like the devils fuel it is. I do a 40 mile round trip to work everyday so in the R32 its not great. Work pay for half but there sort of hinting a 3.2 V6 is costing them abit
Don't do it 
Hows about you get a Git and balance out driving it heavy with a few easy days, you should then get approx 400-450...?!!
Personally I'm getting around 300, so my balance is not right

I want to keep what ive got really but its costing too much to run. The GTD or the Leon are the only diesels I like at the mo. Seeing as your a fellow reds fan I had heart failure when I went to Anfield from Hertfordshire. The R32 cost me £160 in fuel there and back. Took my wifes van a few weeks later £50 to fill up the tank and still had abit of fuel when we came back. But ill be taking the train to tonights game. Come on boys!!!!
Mate, I know what you mean. I had a similar experience in my GiT recently during a round trip from the Northants area, but we did hit quite a lot of traffic.
I was in a similar dilemma when I bought my GiT as I initially was due to order an R. However, my Finance-head got the best of me and so went for the GiT. I do often wish I went ahead with the order for an R but overall I am extremely happy with my current baby.
Obviously, its your decision but you must weigh up the pros and cons for you currently and in the near future, for eg I wanted the Mk5 GiT in 2005 but sensibly for a 1.6 Nissank as we were buying a house at the same time. Do whats right for you for now, try not to let your urges get the better of you as, like in my case, you should be in a better position in a few years time !
