Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[FNJ-GTI]

Ive now had 65 hours in the car, average speed is 23mph (stupid m25 commute) and my long term economy is 32.4mpg. So no too bad, but not great.
I suppose the economy isn't that bad considering most of my driving is stop / start traffic. Have a long journey planned for this weekend so I shall see if the stats improve.

Have you seen this guys? You can post your numbers there, the more submitted gives a better average.

That's a great figure well done. I'm getting 36 on a rubbish for economy journey of 10 miles, country lanes and two towns, so when get it going further for work (and its run in currently on 300 miles) its going to do well. One longer commute to a different office base, 40 ish miles either way returned 44mpg.

My cars stats reset themselves at around 2400 miles. So I lost all my long term data. Anyone else had that happen?

Yes, mine too. Very annoying

Some of the figures you guys are getting on here are unreal, I know I have a heavy foot when there's a clear bit of road and I never take it out of Sport, but I must have done 6k miles and I get 31-32 average tops. I don't really care as if I did I'd of bought a GTD, but that's a long way off the stated 47 combined figures.

I think what is important to remember is although us MK7 owners aren't saving too much fuel over the MK6 model what we are saving on is road tax.

If you look at a MK6 GTI the annual road tax is £200, on the MK7 GTI it is £125, so a saving of £75. That saving buys around a tank of fuel, around 56L if you pay 133p per litre.

So over the course of a year you gain a 'free' tank of fuel or around 400 miles compared to the MK6 GTI.

She's still new and from a cold start included  a decent motorway run of 25 miles very pleased with this mornings mpg, City centre knocked it down a bit but not as much as I thought at 2mpg. 49 mile journey.
