OBC states fuel consumption was 40.5 mpg but actual mileage works out at 39.6 mpg or 7.12 litres per 100 km. Can anyone beat this? I am sure someone can.
Hi Dave,

Is that with a mix of motorway and city driving. Reason I ask is that mine has been up to 54mpg on a long open run up to Inverness. On that occasion I got around 550 miles to the tank but I was not expecting it so did not check exactly.

Heh, heh, in the city and using the sport triptronic I have managed to push it down to 29.5 mpg but no lower.

As you say though, amazing ranges out of a single tank. I reacon 620-ish (magical 1000km) is possible with careful driving!
