I tend to average 300 miles per tank usually, it all depends on how you drive it. I have had 350 driving sensibly and 200 giving it the beans  :evil:

The best I have achieved is 150 miles on the 3/4 mark , 250 on the 1/2 and 350 on the 1/4 with the 8lt light coming on at around 415 miles.

Mind you all long journeys on single carriageway A roads with little or no driving in traffic, and I was trying to squeeze 5 return trips to my place of work without filling up. (because I was leaving very early and getting home late)

in general anything over 350 is pretty good.

That's an impressive amount of miles there.  I've got a standard GTI and usually do about 300-320 miles before I fill up (about 45-50 litres).  I sometimes calculate my mpg after a fill (I know it's sad) and usually its between 29-30mpg.

zero'd the trip counter when i filled up.. don't think thats too shabby at all considering the stick i've been giving it and the traffic i had to sit in on thurs/fri

have a feeling that 180 mile range is a little optimistic though  :evil:

Calculating how many miles per gallon you have achieved should be left to the diesel owners :rolleyes:

A GTI/ED30/R32 is bought for driving pleasure :cool: and not seeing how many MPG you can eke from a tank of petrol :lipsrsealed: :evil:
