GTD/GTI - competition time! Whats your average MPG from start (long term ;) )?

[monsta]

Confusing thread this, we already have an MPG thread and how can you have an average since start?  Surely the average since start is the long term?  Unless you reset your long term all the time?

Sorry to be pedantic, I want to be accurate with my answers 

In your average MPG menu there is a "since start" option as well as "long term", like i said in my last post, the since start one gives you your average for your current journey which resets itself after something like 4hrs.

Yeah I know that 

So is the question on this thread "What's the highest since start figure you've ever seen"?

When I asked this question I saw the 'from start' and assumed that meant from 'zero' on the clock, I never saw a long term, so my question meant what is the average MPG displayed since Zero (or 'long term')

Makes sense then! My long term is 32.5 with about 950 on the clock

This is your long term average? . How many miles have you done? I just don't see how people can be achieving these figures in a GTI. Driving in economy mode and with a very light foot the best I've seen is 36mpg.

3300 miles in. Mainly up and down the M3. Some days I'm averaging 45/46 on a run.

2000 miles in, 43 long-term. Got up to the heady heights of 49 the other day, although generally 46 on a run. Can get down to 34 driving round town though.

If you're getting 40's as an average long term figure and this isn't meant to offend anyone but you really shouldn't have bought a GTI and should have considered something like a blue motion Golf diesel. As you are probably using 10% of the car's power and it would indicate that you drive quite steadily and economically.

I agree Craig my average long term is 27.6 that's in the DSG and that's driving what I would consider to be normal.

Given My daily commute is 120 mile round trip with an average motorway speed of around 50 due to slow traffic it's just what I get.  I'm happy with what I get. It also means that I have fun when not doing the daily drive to work. And with no disrespect to anyone. I hate driving diesels.

If your overall average is over 35 mpg since day one, then you're not driving your GTI properly!
