46 MPG.

To be honest I find Eco mode far less flat and gutless on the GTI than I did on the previous 2 GTD’s. Don’t know if VW changed something, but it’s not bad at all at pickup (on mine at least) and gives me the added benefit of the coasting feature when coming off throttle, and that part does appear to make a difference.

The thing is with the Eco mode, is that it doesn't coast at all when using adaptive cruise. Surely that would be the best time to use it? Echo mode, motorway, ACC? Just seems to me like it isn't fully exploited

Got to be happy with this. Sure it’s only quite a small trip and a lot of it was spent in a 50mph average speed camera section of the motorway, but still - the best I’ve ever got from my GTI (not far off what my GTD would get), from my poor mans non PP 6 speed DSG.

Went out in mine again last night for a similar 30 mile potter round, managed 47 mpg this time...

Not unusual to get this on my commute to work in the mornings. Incredible really.

Best I have seen in my (admittedly) short ownership so far was a recorded 48.7mpg over a 246 mile motorway journey... Just pootling along at the speed limits (with stretches of 50 limit roadworks) but it's pretty impressive when you don't feel the need to burn fuel...

Blimey, what distance and average speed would that be over. Maybe a 50mph M6 roadworks cruise but not even close for me in the real world!

My commute is a real mixture of town centres and motorways but on my way to work it’s mostly downhill tbh! I hover around 30/31 on my way back. 15 miles each way to work and I leave before 7 so the traffic isn’t bad. Nothing excessive in terms of speed. Tend to sit bang on 70 on the motorway as it’s not busy but just flowing along if that makes sense.

Was in Germany recently and managed excellent fuel economy considering ...

My commute is 40 miles, lanes, A roads and M6 (currently at 50 mph all the way).  With a few overtakes on the B and A road, I am getting 47.5 mpg, with it in normal engine and ACC mode.

For a very powerful car, it is exceptional MPG, primarily due to the 60 50 on the M6.

A month ago I drove from the midlands via Glasgow, and Skye to Harris - 600 miles and again it got 45 mpg with ACC set to about 75 on the Mway the whole way.

Impressive engineering - power and economy both.

Your post isn’t right. ACC set to about 75mph? We all know that the speed limit is 70.

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself!
