Around 340 on average, dont see how you can get more unless you drive around 20 mph everywhere!!

By my reckoning, that's only 28mpg. Surely you GTI owners ought to be getting low 30's at least? Mid to high 30's with a lighter right foot.

With a light right foot and keeping to the speed limits we can get a minimum of high 30's out of the GTi. On a recent 380mile trip not hanging about!! got just under 34. Better consumption than the 1.4 TSI above 50mph.

Agree.  I get anything from 280 to 320 miles but I like to drive it properly  :evil:

I get about 300 miles out of a tank. on a motorway i find on a 120mile trip i average about 34mpg but going back and for to work i thinks it closer to 28mpg.

the gti like 50mph as when im going to my mates house about 12miles away it gets close the 40s mpg.

Personally i have given up thinkin about it too much. i find that when i drive a bit more spirited and try to keep momentum i actually get better mpg as have to anticipate junctions and lights more.

We went to stay with friends at the weekend which was a 220 mile round, motorway for 80% of the journey and making good progress we averaged 38mpg on the trip computer in each direction.

Very acceptable mpg for a car with nearly 300bhp :cool:

330 miles almost every tank which is roughly 99% dual carriageway driving. Not brilliant but not as bad as my mk5 GTI used to be.
235 section tyres maybe don't help.

I would say about 340 on an avergae tank, thats doing a 20 mile round trip to and from work and 12 miles to and from the gym during the week.  I dont get to drive it anymore than that to be honest.

When I first had it I went down to Dorset and back on one tank which was just shy of 400 miles and I was taking it slow but I agree with buying a nice turbo petrol motor is not the way forward to get good consumption.
