I take it that was on "current" MPG, leave it on "average" and see what you get. I cant quite seem to get much sense out of it, doing 50 in 5th gear in mine (2.0) gives me a current MPG of something like 60-70 MPG yet my "average" doesnt change that much, I'm a little suspect of these on board computers.

Mines around the same, if im on around 2-3000 revs i get pretty good mpg out of it.

I have a 2.0 & yes, it's pretty bad on MPG. What's the best gear/revs to get the most out of it?

The Mk4 has an oil temp gage rather than a computer reading.

4th gear 38-45mph should get you over 40mpg....mine was giving 50odd today

Yeah, what do you get at around the same?

Give my car in for a service today and also getting the bush replaced so hopefully my car will be squeak free when i pick it up tonight!!

Ive put blue coolant in too but ive told him to get that drained and replace it with red, found out in the manual later that its not the blue one.

What do you think of 10-30w semi oil Alan? Uncle said itd be better for colder weather is this true?
