I think the main benefit of the VAG for power/mpg is the gearbox.
As standard the gears with 90bhp feel right.
With 125bhp it feels like you have a fairly racey gearbox for the power (ie, short ratios)
With 155hp it feels like you have something with ratios for a super special rally stage hehe.
There is no doubt that with 20% longer gearing, or a 6th gear, you'd be adding a LOT more economy on a 60-70mph cruise!
