Mk7 golf fuel costs?

[Davey2017]

Hi all new to forum an maybe going to ask the most daftest question ever, looking to purchase a 6month old mk7 golf gti non performance pack, I just wanted to know some realistic mpg figures and how many miles people are generally getting to a tank of fuel? I'm currently driving a 2008 Mini Cooper s getting around 35-38mpg and 350 miles to a tank any help would be appreciated

Depending on your driving I reckon you'll see similar to your Mini. I've the PP on my GTI and see 36 to 39mpg average with a lot of town driving, some spirited country road driving and the occasional 150 mile motorway slog. Up to around 40mpg for the long motorway jaunts at around 75-80 indicated mph

Edited to say, I get between 350 to a touch over 400 to a tank

Mine averages 35mpg . Motorway journeys see 40mpg especially if on average speed camera infested roads ! I run mine on higher octane fuel but not sure if it makes a difference in mpg but it does run smoother. Also use eco mode when in heavy traffic .

Pretty much as above, long term average is usually 35, 40 on a long motorway run, 45 on a slower steady run and 30+ on short commutes. Mine is a manual, a DSG may not be quite as good from what I've read. Biggest factor though is just driving style, I'm at a more relaxed and steady time of life, if you're a bit more energetic then perhaps not so good!

Oh and welcome to the forum!

Im driving a 2014 Gti PP manual and get an average of 31-35mpg .  Its always is sport mode but i am driving sensibly . Had the car only since Christmas eve but covered 800 miles.  This is not the mpg i had expected but perhaps if i ucse eco mode thet will be better .
Last car was 2012 Golf R doing 28mpg

Hi and welcome I have a manual 2016 gti non PP as above I average 34 - 39 mostly town driving and of course a cpl spirited drives " well its a gti after all " its all about the grin  factor not so much the mpg.
U can drive modestly and get 40+ but I personally didn't buy a performance car to worry bout fuel returns lol

MPG is dependent on so many things - driving style, how busy and long your commute is, what gearbox you have, what road speeds you are generally on etc.

I average 32mpg in my Golf R manual at the moment, on a 20 mile each way commute with relatively uncluttered roads. I have a heavy right foot to get to my desired speed but drive intelligently to preserve my momentum and minimise braking when i'm there. DSG is 10% thirstier in real world driving. If I was stuck in inner city traffic with DSG i'd be thinking that 25mpg was a good result.

On my commute i'd expect to get 32mpg in a DSG GTI and 36mpg in a manual one.

If mpg is of huge concern to you and you want more that 35mpg without driving like a nun, you are looking at the wrong car - a GTD with a tuning box would be the better car to have (240ps, 500Nm, 50mpg). The GTD manual clutch is very resilient, the GTI and R clutches are not.

Hi all thanks for the warm welcome, I know the gti is a drivers car and I perhaps shouldn't worry so much about the mpg, I've driven both the gti and gtd but find road tests are never quite long enough to get a true representation of mpg etc... gtd drives well but not as well as the gti, so everyone seems to be around mid to late 30s mpg what range will a gti do to a tank? anymore opinions or inputs will still be greatly appreciated

How many miles a month/year are you doing? The difference between 30mpg and 35mpg over 10000 miles is only £249

If the tank range is important it holds 50 litres (plus a little in the filler neck) so that will give you some idea of potential range using the real world figures of mpg already given.
