MPG for Edition 35

[SeniorMoment]

Hello there,
I'm considering buying an Edition 35 and would be grateful if current/former owners could give me an idea of the 'real world' mpg for these cars.
I know it won't be good, but wonder just how bad it is.   
Thanks.

I'm averaging about 32, mix of A roads and B roads, Stage 1 tuned. Will get down in the 26's if you start hooning which isn't bad considering the grunt it has!

I have the standard Gti as opposed to the edition 35 but fuel consumption is very good compared with the performance and weight of the car. I drive short journey's to work and back in town with ave speed of 15 mph and distance of approx 3 miles each way and on a full tank i get just over 300 miles.
Having said that my previous car was a nissan GTR so anything would appear very good comparatively

Anything between 26 and 31 daily driving. All motorway it'll average 33/34mpg

I was getting late 30's in mine bit I rarely put my foot down. On a proper geeky pedestrian paced run I got early 40's but it was fooling boring and I only did it once!

I think they put a diesel in yours by mistake, have you checked under the bonnet?

Lol!

Not good, 23 - 25 for the London commute, upto 30 for other journeys.

I did not buy the car for it's mpg, or to drive it slow... So if I was a bit more gentle I could tease a bit more out, but why? GTIs just love being let loose. I use the wife's smart car 4 days a week for the commute as she takes the train. I'm probably going to turn about 5 - 6K a year so the the cost for fuel isn't great.

The 35 is great to drive and I love every time we go out. If your mileage is going to be low do it, if your worried about fuel cost try a mk7 I think they have a much better mpg stat.

Thank you all for your replies.
As I only do about 6k miles p.a., low 30's would not be a problem. I don't commute or do much urban driving at all, so I should be able to exceed 30 without being too saintly! 
Thanks again - I'm encouraged.

6k a year mileage and your worried about mpg...budget 30 mpg day to day depending on where you drive.
