Interesting (well to some anyway) that if fuel was the same price (which it hasnt been for the past three years):

GTD:
50000miles / 50mpg (approx) = 1000 gallons of fuel
1000 gallons * 4.55 litres = 4550 litres of fuel
4550 litres * £1.40 = £6370 worth of fuel  :shocked:

If I had bought a GTI:
50000miles / 35mpg (approx) = 1428.5 gallons of fuel
1428.5 gallons * 4.55 litres = 6500 litres of fuel
6500 litres * £1.33 = £8645 worth of fuel

No gtd available yet, so no.  Last time the car was about 4 and half years old with more miles. I like the tech of the mark 7 but the looks are dire.

35 mpg - I wish. Circa low 20s for me
