I'm no where near that in heavy traffic. First time i put the car in eco mode this morning and travelling to work (approx 19 miles) with relatively light traffic this morning i still only managed 33mpg.

Are you sure you don't have a GTD?

Nope, definately a GTi 
I did a trip to Manchester and back 2 days after I bought it and it managed 38mpg.

The question then is are you driving it like a GTI?

+1

I managed 29 today in heavy traffic.  No idea where others are getting these figures from unless they're not driving the car properly when the traffic clears!

You can't get those figures when driving a GTI like a GTI. I managed to get 41mpg driving like Bambi, coasting where I can. Speed limiter at 60 & lots of passer-bys giving you a confused look as to why you're driving a 230bhp, 350nm torque like an Up!

The "best" I've had driving it like a GTI is between 28-30mpg & I've had an average as low as 22mpg driving it like I stole it.

Totally agree Mr Savage... Ive just done round trip of 250 miles mostly free flowing motorway, and only got 33mpg .. If people are concerned with mpg on a GTi then they should have bought an Up! !!   

[GTI_Redpath]

most ive been able to get on the Avg. MPG readout (since refills) is 33mpg. it does improve with every refill. and thats driving "properly" and 700 milles on the clock. maybe a bit too "properly" managed to get a speeding ticket after 3 days of owning the thing. I am a moron...
