Just had new Golf on its first long run. From home up to St Fergus near Peterhead on Monday and back down the road today.
Run is approx 190 miles and is mostly dual carriageway and A-road for about the last 30 miles and a wee bit of urban around Aberdeen.
On the way up I got (according to the computer) 65.1 mpg and on the way back down (with A/C on) 63.3 mpg. This was sitting between 65 and 70 mph with the occasional short spell of 75+ to pass slower traffic.
I am really impressed with this and to add to the impressive fuel economy the Golf was faultless in every other way:D
