Been down to Hampshire today. Not long back in, just checked the mpg and noticed 23.2

Bloody chuffed, all things considered. Anyone else seen decent mpg in a tt?

I was surprised to get 30mpg in my C4S on a run.

cheeky bleeder! In my defence your honour, I'm very much in the learning phase, and the 23.2mpg did include several leaps into hyperspace. allegedly.

the car is so bloody docile, its easier to drive than the Doris' polo. the only thing missing is a sports exhaust, but that can be rectified cool

....26.9MPG out of the GT2 over 200miles at a steady 80 motorway driving. A lot less when there isn't as much traffic around and the turbos spool up!

got it down to 7 mpg bruntingthorpe after doing a true 178mph..... with under a quater tank then had to travel about 40mph looking for a petrol station trying to eek up the mpg after the fuel dial ran out of travel. Oh the shame of a micra overtaking me...

I've seen 36 on a trip. I was nursing it to Slough from Norfolk with a load of fix-a-flat in the tyre. Already had a set of tyres down there ready for fitting and didn't fancy chancing it over 70mph since I was going at a fair old pace when I noticed it'd gone down and it got too hot to touch in the moments it took me to stop somewhere safe.
