Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the R32  :embarassed:  It's always been out of my league so I've never really looked into it.

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.

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.

Just goes to show how flexible the TFSI engine is, thats why the GTI is the only car you will ever need.

One particular mix of A & B road I know very well, used at the right time of day  ie empty, covers everthing from fast straights, up/down hill sections, hairpins and fast/slow curves. Runs 45 miles.

Twice have reset the comp, and averaged into the 14's,  over the 45 miles, now thats how a GTI was designed to be driven I guess    :evil:

I used to get 260 (from full top up to way beyond the orange light coming on) - nothing more fun than playing service station chicken

got caught doing 100mph plus  - now manage 310  (all on super unleaded - normally get about 20-30 miles less on std)
