Your screen is a little ermm dusty  :shocked:

I have no idea how on earth your getting such good mpg... how many miles has your GTI covered?
Mine has nearly done 6000 miles but mainly motorways.. best I seem to get is between 39-45mpg over 41 miles.  :smiley:

That's impressive, I think...
Must have been quite painful but shows what the GTI can do.

I'm happy enough with 240PS, 500Nm torque and an actual 44mpg around the doors/53mpg on the motorway (<50 miles) with a heavy right foot.  :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Very impressive for a GTI, but what's the average cruising speed to attain 45mpg? We will all see mpg gains as the weather warms up - Summer should see 10% more miles than Winter.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Good figures Monkey  :smiley:

Is that with some sort of assistance or stock?

Mapping does tend to skew the indicated vs actual a little.

That's the DTUK box (dyno figures on their test car with same engine - Skoda VRS), indicated 47mpg on mine, brim fill actual 44mpg. Totally transformed the car.

Yours is doing very well at that, so many factors make a difference.

Time of day re traffic levels makes over 10% difference too.

If you did my route I'm sure it would be the same.

Mines done 1.3k miles.

I had a Prius before the Gti, and was an anorak 'hypermiler club' nothing particularly ground breaking just all the normal tips combined.

Just passed 6200 miles and my long-term average is improving, currently sitting at 38.2 mpg.
Today I saw an impressive 49.7mpg crusing at 50mph using ACC  :smiley:
