100 miles in and getting 39.3mpg

I wish I was getting that lol. My R is 3 weeks old and I'm getting 27mpg...

If I get that on my R I'll be well happy. That's what I get on my current GTI most of the time. Occasionally it nudges into the heady heights of 30+

proud of my 6.9mpg average on the R for half a tank, when the warning light came on it predicted the range at 10 miles

But then you do track it.

31.5mpg for me today on my way home, with the aircon on, doing 80 when traffic flow would allow, and I think i'd have probably got more on Shell V-Power rather than Esso Supreme.

Would have been an easy 52mpg in the GTD.

That's pretty good going for a new R.

I usually use Shell V Power but sometimes have to slum it with Esso 97ron as the nearest Shell garage is 7 miles away.  I do find it seems smoother on Shell.  But tbh I'm really not fussed about the mpg. If it's somewhere in the 20's that'll do.

How many miles you got on the clock now?  And how is it with the Soundaktor turned down?  Better?

Depends heavily on the journey. If you do less than 5 miles a journey and are relatively soft on the car then you'll be lucky to crack 40mpg (35mpg if driving it a little harder). Do a 100 mile journey at a constant 80mph and you'll crack 55mpg. The latest gen TDIs take an age to warm up (oil temp), affecting the mpg massively when cold.

Never seen significant mpg gains as the miles roll on with 7 TDIs bought from new. With the weather we've had lately, the mpg will be getting a helping hand (you'd be really disappointed if running in the car during winter).

My journeys so far have all been around 5 miles from cold all in 30-40 limits with plenty of traffic which hasn't helped. I did do a test on my bmw before i sold it and was getting around the same mpg on the same journeys and it had 40000 on the clock, over a full month i was getting 42.8mpg.

I think my big problem will be getting used to the tiny 50 litre tank and i am driving to Alton Towers next week which will be a 554 mile round trip.

I'm probably just over 500 miles now, but unlikely to be using Esso again if I can help it. Have you tried Tesco Momentum 99? Soundaktor down to 30% makes the car a canny bit quieter - the fakery enhances the real engine note subtly, and I can hear what the car is actually doing all the time. I suppose it sounds like unaltered "Normal" in Race at 30%, Happy with that.

Not sure if i'm liking the new job TBH, lots of issues, but my hands are tied to help sort them out - it'll be a challenge.

Not tried Tesco M 99 - Tesco is also 7 miles away.  Canterbury is very poor for decent petrol stations, but I get out and about a lot with work so plan my fill ups at Shell to coincide with site trips.  It's amazing how often I need to go to Whitstable on work business 

Actually looking forward to hearing the soundaktor for myself, wonder if it will end up getting turned down or off too?

Was going to ask how your new job was going. Early days I guess, hopefully it'll improve as time goes on.

I have used momentum, again I find it similar to ease supreme. Car doesn't seem as eager and doesn't seem to be as smooth. I'll be sticking to V Power nitro me thinks

That's exactly what I've got as a long term mpg after 10k miles - which is pretty good I think!
