Flippin' heck, I get about 230-250.

I can't think that an extra 30bhp would eat that much - must be the lead in my right foot!

hi, just been through my first tank and got  227 miles and averaging 23 mpg. i think theres a problem with my 1.8t possibly my MAF. My main driving is around town and i do sometimes have a heavy foot but yet drive like a granny sometimes!

Anyone got similar figures??

On motorways or long journey in 5th gear its surpisingly economical.  If your mostly doing town driving it drinks petrol like its going out of fashion.  My long term average for about town is about 25mpg.  For a recent 150 mile journey on a nice open road it was 42mpg.  All in fifth gear and at a steady 60ish (boring I know) but I was pleasantly surprised how economical it could be, all that low down torque means it was pretty much like driving an automatic.

I am mostly getting 250 miles on extreme town driving (55 ltr fuel tank).  I can't complain about that as I only get 200 in my 3.0 litre Beemer (70 ltr fuel tank).

I really love my golf 1.8 T and the worst thing is, its my wife's!
