Sorry about that Alan. After turning my picture the right way round it makes your post look a bit random. :grin:

Worst tank - was that a lot of fun or stuck in horrendous traffic?

Both, The first half travelling back down the M6 etc. on a Friday night... and then the following day hammering around the lanes of rural Warwickshire...

Average speed of 19mph would suggest otherwise... That suggests sitting in traffic an awful lot or just sitting on tick over...

 I've only been on the motorway 3 times in my car as I have a works van plus we put the miles on the wife's 2005 golf. I just use the gtd for goin for a quick blast around the town. Maybe the sonic boom thing was slightly over enthusiastic but I certainly don't sit round for three hours a day with my engine running.  :rolleyes:

Hi,
After about 15k miles and a lot of care I could finally get 50-55 on a motorway run with a bit town driving at either end. Cruise on at 75 with little traffic. Not a patch on what some of you are getting but the manual box seems less efficient from what I can tell.

Anyway, my car went in for it's first service a few weeks back and since then I honestly can't get 45mpg on a 100 mile motorway run with clear roads.

Checked tyre pressures, outside temp seems reasonable 10-12 degrees and I'm the only person in the car (with a bag).

I have asked VW but they say nothing could cause this... Annoyed as I feel I'm back to square 1 with this now....

Any ideas??

Wrong oil perhaps??

Thanks

Mike

Probably the software update. A few folk have mentioned their MPG going down after a service.
