Petrol RON

If I manage to get 40mpg + out of my GTi it would be nice 

Good luck with that. I tried a longish journey in Eco, and drove like Miss Daisy - and the best I got was 35 average. I've only done 1,600 miles however, but even so 40+ mpg isn't likely IMO.

1,600 miles is nothing... you would probably start seeing 40+ mpg figures after about 20k miles.
My Polo Bluemotion was the same, once it passed 20k mark the figures just got better and better.

I managed 40 mpg today on my daily journey to work with 1200 miles on the clock.  It's a mixture of motorway (70 mph) and city driving.

PS I'm using 95RON

I have also seen others on the internet which are getting 40 mpg +
To be fair I bought the car to have more fun and the added creature comforts etc.
It will be really hard to compare anything mpg wise to my Polo which I am getting 75mpg consistently

Mpg seems to improve with time and miles, I am also now convinced that 98/99 RON makes a difference, maybe only 2-3 mpg. Difficult to prove of course.

But hey, it's a GTI and who really cares.
Just loving the way this car drives.

I can easily achieve 40mpg+ out of mine on a sensible run. Once you start having a fun it drops to mid to low 30's. Running standard shell fuel with 1600 miles on the clock.

To be honest I don't really care though, i didn't buy a GTI for fuel economy. The fuel consumption isn't ridiculous so its fine in my opinion.
