Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[2014GTi]

I have now covered over 2300 miles and for my commute to and from work I am getting 40mpg +
There is however a stretch of roadworks at 50mph which is helping boost mpg.
I'm still happy with it and I'm sure once it has had it's first oil change mpg will improve slightly.
I drive 41 miles to work and stick to the speed limits.

We all stick to the speed limits on here

3950 miles and I'm getting 26.5mpg - it's a right bummer because I get petrol allowance based on what it says in the book - 44mpg THATS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!

I'm interested on what I'm going to get. Currently I'm using a MINI Cooper D for my daily driver and averaging 44mpg, the official figure is 76mpg. Looking at these figures I'll be lucky to get 20mpg out of the GTI when I get it

I went for a spirited drive yesterday night (less cars on the road/better temperature for a turbo equipped car). 30% motorway, 20% fast B-road with sweeping corners and 50% B-road (could be called...C-road in the UK). Average speed 95km/h and consumption 7.4lt/100km (38.2mpg). Very impressed. Long term (not few cold-starts) is 32.9mpg and current mileage is 1170miles. It's loosening up nicely!

For those interested in mpg we picked car up in Gillingham yesterday with 10 miles on odometer. Drove home to Forfar and its now showing 541 miles.
Average mpg = 40.8

Trip was heavy traffic on M25 and M1 probably about 40-50mph and a few slow moving queues. Busy up M6 and then light traffic past Manchester. It included me dropping gears, slowing and accelerating up to 4000rpm to try and vary engine speed as much as possible and 5 detours off motorway for rest break / food and to drive a bit on A roads to break it up.
More than happy with the above figure.

For comparison my Mk 5 Gti from years gone by averaged about 32-33 mpg on my daily commute from Forfar to Dundee. Approx 15 miles with 10 being dual carriageway and the rest town driving.
My current Audi A4 Avant Quattro 177 diesel only does about 42-43 for the same trip and the wife's previous A3 1.8Tfsi was 36 so all in all the new Gti is doing well enough so far.
Sorry for blethering on but to summarise if we end up averaging about 35/36 overall I'd have no complaints. I didn't buy it for the economy and her right foot would appear to be heavier than mine!!!

Forfar?! Why haven't I seen it driving about yet...

In a GTD I assume? I'm sorry but if you got 38MPG in a GTI then it couldn't have been a "spirited drive" My spirited drives result in 22MPG

You've not seen it yet as we got home at 2.30 Fri morning and I've spent the last 2 days giving it the full treatment in the garage!! I'm knackered but it does look sh!t-hot.
Can't even get any decent pictures as its never stopped raining.
The wife starts driving it to her work tomorrow so it'll probably never be this clean again!!!
