Picking up new petrol vRS next week, just wondering what MPG others have been getting with the petrol; round the doors? on a decent motorway run? ...etc ...appreciate all depends how driven but if going steady round doors what MPG can be expected; 33-35MPG??, cheers.

33-35MPG

New 2.0 petrol vRS, over 12k miles, averaging around 39mpg, no motorway driving either.

Just done my first tank in mine after picking it up last week and got 31mpg (55 plate on 57k)

I'm averaging about 32. I have a heavy right foot and we do about 60% town driving.

Easily >40 mpg on a good run - A roads & M'ways.

90% town driving, 23mpg

On my 5 miles each way commute (2 miles stop start through multiple sets of lights + 3 mile free flowing dual carriageway) 28mpg.

On a 600 mile motorway round trip last weekend 33mpg.

From Luton to Nottingham on the M1 in heavy traffic forcing average speed down to <60 - 36 mpg.

All figures on the maxidot and on a 1500 mile engine, I'm sure it will improve as it loosens up but I think I'll rarely see more than 35mpg on a tankful. That's about what I expected.

As an indicator I owned a 2 litre Volvo V50 diesel previously and it did about 40-45 mpg over the 5 years I had it.

30 Mile each way commute Monday to Friday sees me at 40-42mpg, whereas I see closer to 32 mpg on the weekends on more involving drives

Never see above 26.something...mostly around town. As low as 24ish & maybe a peak of low 30's if it gets a really long run (not often)

& yes, i have taken the handbrake off !

On my Pre-Facelift vRS.

I'm seeking around 39-40 on a motorway run - did a trip over to Belgium last weekend and got good MPG.

My average seems to be around the 32-33mpg - included my daily commute.

Hi,

Much the same as most peeps here:

30-32 MPG general running around with about 38-40 on a motorway, Took some getting used to after my 50-52 Mpg in my Diesel..

Completely depends on how you drive, I get around 32-37 average on a fast 60 mile commute. But if i take it really steady and think about fuel economy, I have had a maxidot indicated 50mpg on once occastion, and mid 40s normally. And the journey only takes 5-10 mins more than if i gunned it. Win for me!

This is on a petrol TSI with 42,000 on the clock.

My FL VRs does around 27mpg on my mix of commute and local travel, might get 31mpg on a run but never seen more than that in 5000 miles, my 56 plate VRs was about the same

Using SWMBO TSI VRS I averaged 43 mpg on run from Worcester to Tilbury this morning, forced to drive at 55 mph or so through all the roadworks, did the journey in 2:40 and it is about 170 miles I think so average speed was about 65 mph which is quite hard to average above even if you do cruise at 70-75 mph on the M40 motorway.

Filled up at Asda, 115p a litre, at Tilbury and range showed 550 miles. Not bad for a 200 hp petrol engined car that does 150 mph+ (where permitted) and 7s 0-60. mph.

Pick up my my 1.8 TSI DSG L&K tomorrow, which uses the same EA888 engine as the TSI VRS but with a shorter stroke and looking to get circa 48-50 mpg out of it on these long runs ie circa 600 mile range.
