think you forgot the blue tinted glass, smoked rears, twin centre pipes, standard 18" & xenons..

and the increased price, insurance and road tax

getting about 350 / 370 before the light comes on.  As i havent had the car very long i havent run the tank low so not sure how long the fuel lasts once the light comes on!  My total average since picking up the car is 31.5mpg  :smiley: (used to get 35 in the Focus....1.6 :evil:)

I'm driving to Devon in a couple of weeks so will be a good test of how far a tank gets, although with my current average of 19mpg that won't be very far.

Well even cruising on the motorway I couldn't beat 24-25mpg in my 3.2, but averaged 35mpg doing the same motorway run in the GTI so I'm pretty happy with that.

I would say normally 330-350 but with a long steady run 380 is possible and 40mpg. It is difficult though resisting the urge to boot it off a round about. I've often catch my self on the way home from work trying to get ever higher mpg from the computer display.

Mind you i only managed 170 miles from a tank on my last track day :shocked: :rolleyes: and 13mpg. which for a track day was not bad especially compared to my friends 3.2 A3 (9mpg)

I'm looking to buy, so around 300 miles is ok.  How much does it cost to fill a GTI up with the more expensive juice?

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:


....Absolutely spot on!!

All I've noticed is that she normally displays about 320m when filled up and currently averages 27.1 mpg on the display. In Germany she was averaging 22 mpg and I once spent a  whole day of 11 mpg on a driver training course!! (and finished off a set of tyres!!)

Filled it up for the first time today, bit of a shock!
£60, although I think that was pretty much empty as the display said I had 5 miles to go.

£60 = 324 miles 18p/mile... bugger that work only give us 16p/mile.
