Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[Darlo]

You guys are getting impressive MPG figures!

First tank.... 27mpg
Second tank.... 28mpg
Third tank.... 31mpg

It has 910 miles on the clock now.

I only drive it in Sport mode and I think its terrible to drive in Eco mode. I did manage 44mpg on one longish run keeping it below 2k revs at all times but that's not why i bought a GTI.

Must admit i hoped for more, getting less than I was getting from my JCW Mini and the book figures for that are less than the GTI. Typical as well that i have found out im moving offices at work and my commute is more than doubling so I may have to learn to drive it with less enthusiasm

I know that you got to drive it like a GTi and mpg isn't the main factor but I bought it for its dual functionality, performance when needed (sport) and Eco for other time..... it's a perfect combination.
I like to do Eco runs to work and back but sometimes fancy a blast.
The GTi has such a broad range of abilities

Maybe i need to give it a few days in Eco mode to see if its better than i remember!

Eco mode is superb on a DSG atleast.

Good to hear, will see if my mind is changed tomorrow with a manual box.

Has anyone on here done back to back or similar journeys to see how much difference Eco mode makes on your average journey when compared to sport. Its probably on this thread somewhere but too many pages to go through

I tried a very Eco trip to work this morning and managed 39.5 in Eco all the way. Same trip in Sport mode & changing with the paddles lands me at 28-30. But then again your driving style alters drastically depending on what mode you're in so an unfair comparison I guess. Being a DSG box it changes up way earlier than I would myself in Eco and likes to labour the engine & coast everywhere else. You can tell it's trying to squeeze every MPG out the car it possibly can. My long term average is still at 27.5 but rising very slowly.

Interesting to hear, I beginning to wonder if its more suited to the dsg box as I drive the same journey to work which I got 33mpg in sport mode yesterday... This morning in Eco mode I got 31mpg? It was quite cold this morning so maybe that made the difference. I will do a few more runs and see how I get on

I tried the trip to work again this morning in Eco mode and the very best i could achieve was a miserable 35mpg driving like an old git. I'm sure at one stage i was overtaken by a granny on a bike.  .

The journey was like something out of Apollo 13, every last instrument was turned off to conserve energy and even the windows started to mist up. It was bloody freezing in the car.

The worst thing by far was driving so conservatively when all you wanted to do was boot it  . I'm giving up on looking at my mpg stats from now on
