MK7 GTD - Real Life MPG

[Optimus prime]

48-50 mpg for my daily commute of 14 miles each.  55-57 on a run kept within the speed limits.  Over 80 and your mpg (46 -48) will suffer like all diesels 

Very happy great drive didn't expect to reach advertised mpg & if you did then you need to do proper research in future

I drive in Normal mode

First tank down and 44mpg. Mainly using ACC motorway driving between 70-80

My commute of 2 miles each way doesnt help though but unfortunately i am not allowed a petrol car as my company vehicle...not that i really need a company car anymore 

Was a little shocked/suprised that the tank is only 50lts....my Seat Leon 2.0 CR was 55ltr so range seems limited. Just had to fill up after getting 420miles from a tank

Just past the 30,000 mile mark (30,314 at the last fill)...

Average across all driving 47.5 (using RoadTrip) but 48.08 in the last 12 months with a best tank of 54.13 and a worst tank of 31.41 ( )...

I'm reasonably impressed...

I'm on 500 miles from my full tank. I usually only get 440 but I've been driving it very carefully.

Another 500 mile plus tank for me this month and ticked over 10000 miles. Had a little drive up the A697 towards Wooler, cruising at around 60mph and had the MPG up to well over 60mpg.

I'm also positive that the new Goodyear tyres I've had fitted have made a difference. Just seems like less effort is needed to improve the economy.

that is brilliant. I have only been doing my my 5 mile commute and back this month due to so clown being in charge but i am getting around 49mpg on the commutes.

I find the GTD so inconsistent with MPG.
I have a 3 mile stretch of dual carriageway road about a mile after leaving the house. Its usually really quiet in rush hour.
So sometimes I'll put my foot down if running late. The other times I'll drive very refrained yet there is no link to how my MPG is by the time I do the second leg (8 miles of slowish traffic) and by the time I get to work.
Sometimes its in the 40's others its in the 60's

I find it a little sad these cars are to be driven and enjoyed not poodled along to try & get unbelievable mpg 

Driven with fun in mind they still achieve mid 40's anyway   If people are so hooked up on mpg then perhaps a hybrid or electric car is the way forward

Its called diversity. I've never before tried to see how much I could squeeze out a tank of fuel or indeed my best MPG. That style of driving isn't me at all. But I must admit it was a lot more relaxing than i thought it would be.

Over the last few months I've found the GTD drawing a lot of unwanted attention which I was just about to post on the Mk7 board.
