GTI Fuel economy

[mcmaddy]

Pretty sure the R is supposed to run on Super all the time. Can't really see the point of having it and then using regular stuff. You'll probably need two or three full tanks to gain any benefit. Engines loosen up at approximately 900 miles but seeing as you're on 4000 miles now or should be well driven in. Driving in Eco dulls the throttle so much you put your foot down further to get the car to go. Why don't you try in normal mode for a week and see what happens?

I’ve only had the car for about a month, so I’m just playing at the moment.
Eco mode, the car still shifts, and it does make it quite economical as well.
Race mode easily drops it to about 20mpg

Anything between 20 and 45mpg is normal. Depends totally on your journey and traffic.

The on board computer is very accurate.
Super unleaded will give a better mpg.

ThinkBlue is a load of crap. My trip into work this morning.

Not sure what you mean about ThinkBlue being crap Jim 

  Briiliant! Exactly, it's got about 5% to do with how you use your right foot and 95% of what type of route you do and the traffic!

Plus, the fact that the "score" number is automatically lower if you have it in Sport mode, even if you are in exactly the same gear and revs as you would be in D. The score is literally just made up.

Hello, did you get a solution for the bad miles per full tank?

I'm having the same issue, maximum 200miles and that's driving like a granny

Must be something wrong there, I get over 400 miles easily. 500 if I'm really careful.

My last run out achieved this for example... It can do better.

Same here, I did a 450 round trip last weekend at about 46 Mpg, mostly motorway and A roads but some urban and congestion.
Mostly sat at 75mph ish so wasn’t clogging it.

Not sure how i could diagnose it apart from a diagnostic.

Just had a service done too but no difference

[Adam T7]

Binding brakes?

[Rudedog]

Does yours have an OPF? The only time my mpg drops like a stone is when is doing an active regen - done two so far so now I can recognise the signs and not worry.

Otherwise 28 to 38 in traffic and 50'ish on motorways all in D.
