MPG is not the really what the R is about though is it.  Thankfully there's a choice - GTD anyone?

Or a Golf GTI - better on fuel than an R and runs on 95 RON which is cheaper than both Diesel and 98RON.  :smug:

277 mile drive to Alton Towers today after filling it up to the absolute maximum & it's sitting between half and the next big line between 3/4 checked the computer and it says I have 270 miles left and was averaging 50.4 mpg on my journey down. Either the computer or the gauge must be wrong. I put 18.5 litres of diesel in before I left this morning so I am guessing that it is the gauge.
