I don't envy your commute one bit Jim. Mine is 33 miles one way and I do it in the same time as it takes you to do 6 miles. People at work think I'm crackers for commuting like I do because they but this proves my point on why it's not so bonkers.

It's a PITA but I'm not in the office everyday and had meetings in Manchester and Bradford already this week.

Did the commute in the missus' Auris - 80mpg!  :grin:

I do Bradford in the lorry sometimes and it's by far the worst place I've driven in the UK. All rules go out the window.

We filled up yesterday, the car took £55.00 and total of 46.65 litres, didn't realise the Golf had such a small tank, and the computer is saying 275 miles to empty, would of thought this should be way over 300? :undecided:

I was hoping it was more, but sadly not. 50litres is the tank size for the MK7, VW cut it by 5litres from the MK6.

46.5l is 10.22857 gallons.

275 miles range is 26.9mpg.

Your current long term average mpg figure from the computer is used to calculate the range to empty.

I'm guessing it reads 26.9mpg :D

Actual mileage achieved is of course variable.

If you had a GTD, it would probably show you 400+ miles range.... you and your greenhouse gas machine  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You can regularly get slightly more than 50 litres if you let the tank go down far enough.

This is only the first time we have filled it up fully, since we bought it last May, so will be interesting to see what we get from the tank :grin:

The tank is definitely bigger than 50l I average 49.5l per fuel up. The most I've had in is 52.14l

55l tank maybe?

It's definitely 50 litres but you can get what seems more due to the reserve and filler spout.
