Hi guys, looking at changing my ultra reliable passat for a golf.
As per the title, mpg how do you rate yours?. I cant believe I'm questioning my purchase of a golf gtd. I cover 20k and want great economy. It appears that figures are not very accurate :-(:-(.
How do you rate you purchase?.
Thanks, Rappy.
Pretty shocking, if I'm honest. I struggle to get 48mpg on my usual commute (there is some stop start in there). I expected better.
The real kicker is that I struggle to get even the urban fuel cycle economy when on motorway journeys. I have got 56mpg on my best run, and that was with a tail wind. Every other car I've ever owned has got close to, or beaten the combined cycle figures when on a motoway run.
Nice car but don't buy if it's the claimed fuel consumption you're after! I was getting over 50mpg back in the 1980's, yes cars are more comfortable and probably safer in an accident today, but the mpg isn't its strong point.
I'm getting over 54mpg driving in Eco mode with a DSG gearbox and we love the car! Computer shows over 60mpg some days but never confirmed on a brim to brim fill.
I get 49mpg from my 1.4ACT, which I consider very good. VW say I should be getting 59mpg combined consumption which I consider a deliberate attempt to mislead and I can't believe they get away with it. I achieved the combined figure in my last two cars over 13 years and expected the same in this.
Fuel consumption lies about the current Golf diesels cost VW a customer & in my case they didn't seem to care !

I'm averaging 58 out of a tank and on a recent 140 mile mixed motorway/urban run using cruise control and climate control averaged 64MPG, all seems in order to me.
Averaging 17mpg at the moment on 99RON
What bhp is yours, 150?Quote:
