My average over the past 6 months is 30mpg.  My problem is short journeys which kill it.  Motorway runs of over 15 miles always bring back 37mpg + with my best 44mpg over 180 miles last summer.  Brilliant engine, more economical than the 1.6 twin spark in a 147 before it and twice as fast. :laugh:

I've had my Ed30 DSG for 10 days now and done 1050 miles  :shocked:

Have filled up exclusively on Shell V-Power and am getting around 31 mpg average, probably 75% of the driving has been on the motorway. Obeying the Queen's speed limits of course  :laugh:

I got about 38mpg on the run from Silverstone to Sunderland last year, about 215 miles or so and i hardly went under 80 - 85 mph on the way back.

Cracking engine, faultless on long runs and an absolute beast when you want it to be!!

Anybody going to the F1 GP at Silverstone this year? can't remember seeing many Mk 5 GTI / R32's down there last year

Mine is on 800 miles, Ed30, and have done an average of motorway, a and b roads and am firmly stuck on 27.5mpg overall.  Should improve though over time?

I'm on 8000 miles and average 27-30 mpg with 32 mph on a longer run. I have seen 40 mpg once during a 60 mph motorway procession.

whoops should have posted here rather than resurrecting the old "miles per tank" post sorry.

21.1 MPG and with the exception of a couple of spirited drives 20 miles in total the rest has been start stop journeys to work and back, in the city centre of Glasgow...about 20miles per day return journey.

i am really not happy with these figures, does an uprated exhaust cause a reduction in economy? I have a milltex quad fitted. It does increase bhp slightly.....I was hoping to average about 28-30 mpg with a degree of lightfootedness...however I have been careful and the low twenties is a sore one, particularly when she drinks the finest of wines only.

how long does your 20 miles journey take you in traffic, and how long would it take you without traffic ?
