If you have a 2010 VRS you should have the TSI Engine - which runs fine on regular gas (95 octane), and the torque comes in a bit sooner than TFSI and 43 mpg is quite easy to obtain. ECU is also more sophisticated, engine and car is lighter too.

No mods yet but Dunlops will need to go for something better soon.

Seems to be some debate over whether engine is TFSI or TSI - seem to remember reading here that Skoda are saying they are still TFSI spec although the engine cover on mine says TSI.

Very interested in your quote that 43mpg is easily obtainable. 230 mile trip from Devon last night saw 36mpg and best I have seen is 37mpg. My 20 minute commute which includes a range of roads and speeds just makes an indicated 30 mpg - mid 20's around town. Local dealer here in Cambridge says thats best I can hope for. I am hoping this will increase as I put the miles on - currently just 2,500. Anyone seriously getting 40+ on a run in a petrol VRS?

Yes just come back from Wales and did 43 Mpg again. Trick is to do a few things, Motorways are killer compared to A roads. Unfortunately down to Devon there is not much choice but the M5. I am an avid free-wheeler. So do the Plymouth side of Holden hill etc I will free-wheel for half a mile or so, same with Rattery etc. It makes the journey more interesting to try and judge it so you keep to the 70-ish on the GPS (speedo over-reads by about 5%). Key things are not to drive it around town or short journeys. I use our little Grande Punto or M/c for that. Tyres around 35 PSI and most importantly good predictive driving. Engine revs around 1500 rpm unless gunning!
