well if he won't ask i'll have to tell him  :tongue:

expect an easy 50mpg + when not booting it and no less than 30mpg when absolutely hammering it  :smug:

tend to average 45-50mpg

but as Matt said depending you can still achieve 30mpg + in a remapped 1.8T

Yeah if you drive carefully you can get 37 mpg tho avg is prob more like 33-35 mpg TBH

As for the derv 50 mpg and as fast as a 1.8T  :laugh:
