On a proper eco run though.....whats your average? It'll be nowhere near that figure. I did 69mpg on ONE run in the golf, at night with a long clear road, decent conditions on cruise control all the way there.....but thats a pointless figure as I could never average it.
I'm sure there's something different about the newer ones though, post Y reg. Something different in the management for better efficiency (to drop the emmisions for the 'new' at the time tax bands) as the people reporting decent mpg all seem to have the newer ones. Then again Cully's is an '02 lol, but maybe he does have a heavy right foot - still, 38mpg from it really is shite...even with a heavy foot lol.
