i know its not a gti, but my 2.0l cabby is god awful on the school run for Mpg.
If it is just the school run i am doing, then i expect to get at most 70 miles to £20 of fuel, (current prices around 115ppl) which gives me - approx 18.4mpg
now if i were to do an almost pure motorway run, on £20 i almost get 120 miles at a cruise of 60-65mph. - 31.4 mpg roughly. not far from double my original mpg. and i am sure, if i were to give her a full service, (as im not far from needing one according to mileage) and hitting it with all the cleaners, i could prob get that up to about 40mpg on the motorway.
