MPG of GTi
« on: 10 December 2015, 14:32 »
Hi, newbie here, looking to buy a GTi this week!

Can someone tell me realistically what mpg am I likely to average?

I'm not expecting it to be high, but if you can give me your average that would be great.

Well you will be pleasantly surprised.

Driving "average" you could expect 35MPG!! Even with mine tuned to stage 3 it still done 35MPG.

Joys of a modern, direct injection engine!

My old Mk5 only managed around 27 mpg and that was with a light foot, so @35 would be awesome

Just come back from Cornwall - 357 miles in just over 5.25 hrs and got 40.7mpg according to the MFD readout. No violent acceleration and braking and nearly all two/three lane roads. Normally around 35/36mpg.

35mpg is daily reality for me.

Considering that's a commute across back roads and through villages, it's not bad at all. Longer runs can see 40+ comfortably. 45 is my best so far, but driving like a granny. That's at Revo stage 1

32-33mpg is average over a full tank of fuel for me, it gets into the high thirties on motorways and similar, it would go higher still but I don't tend to dawdle, and I spend half my time trying to overtake dawdlers (though it is brilliant at overtaking). My car is standard by the way.

My overall average is just over 34 mpg for my manual standard car.
It all depends how you drive it and traffic conditions.
Be aware that the DSG is in my hand anyway 10% less fuel efficient.

My DSG average is 29mpg and that's mostly cruising 80-90mph over 40-50 miles motorway driving per day on.
