Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[Moro]

So far I have mainly used Comfort mode (DCC) which selects Normal (not Eco) for engine. Last fill up was 358.1 miles, trip said 40.0mpg but calculations revealed 39.1mpg, which continues to be surprisingly close to reality. So far I'm on 36.9mpg over 1200 miles, which I think is OK.

The only thing I noticed was that the gauge looked nearly 1/4, but the range was down to 65 miles - which seemed a much more accurate representation considering the amount of fuel I purchased, so I'm guessing the gauge drops quite quickly as it approaches empty.

Just been out to Manchester and back, a nice drive out in Eco mode, taking it steady as still running in but easily getting 37mpg  with mixed driving and having 3 people in the car on the way back incl A/C on @ 21.
The car is performing pretty well in the mpg stakes given its not even run in.

Have I recorded the lowest so far. Killer of a journey to work this morning 

Wow - walking slowly would have been significantly quicker!

I've done worser mpg in my R32... sub 6mpg.

Did a run across country back to my parents (55 miles roughly) mixing between Eco and Sport (for the fun bits like over taking) and got 38.5 MPG - very happy with that

This must be some kind of record

GTI7me: Were you doing a constant 55mph with an 80 mph tail wind? I have only beaten your mpg twice with my GTD in 2500 miles.

Cruising between 55 and 65 on the motorway with feet like twinkle toes! I think cruise control makes the MPG worse.

My first 900 miles has been between 35 and 36mpg.

Will see if the eco mode makes any difference one a 400 mile round trip this week.

(I did try sport mode for a bit but I couldnt stand the artificial engine noise  )

I don't use the cruise, but then again, i've not done more than 40 miles on a single trip before. It'll definitely affect mpg adversely. Anytime it wastes your momentum to brake, like when you go down a hill stretch will affect your mpg etc.
