Hello guys,

So my long-term average MPG is 26 over 800 miles. Is this normal? If others could post there's I'd be very interested as u hear if people getting 40 odd!?

This was my journey on A roads and then 5ish city miles this morning in my company Prius, when the Golf gti finally lands next week it might be in for a shock!!!   :laugh:

Are you driving in eco mode everywhere? You must have the lightest right foot known to man to be able to achieve over 40mpg  :grin:

I think I need photographic evidence of the unbelievable mpg your achieving  :smiley: :smiley:

good to hear im indenting too also be (hopefully) well over 40 

good numbers in your polo that, my polo Tsi 105 does about 53, neither of course are a big heavy auto family car, cant knock the Prius save its 'plastic feel' effortless trouble free 40k miles.

cant wait to get my mits on the Gti though 1 week 1 day to go, don't know how im going to sleep next week!

I mainly stick to Eco mode for my daily work commuting but nothing silly like driving 50mph everywhere in a 70mph zone....

Those are some great stats. The best ive achieved in Eco mode has been approx 37mpg, I can't seem to get anywhere near the magic 40mpg. However I also can't bring myself to drive in Eco mode very often because I like sport too much  :grin:.

What your long term mpg sitting at?

My long term mpg is between 36-37mpg at the moment with around 2300 miles on the clock  :smiley: I did see 45mpg today on the motorway but I had to come off the junction to tackle urban roads for the final leg of my commute.  :smiley:
