I've seem posts on this forum stating that a 90bhp engine is more economical than the more powerful ones. I've had two 90bhp Mk4 Golks and have been able to get over 600 miles per tank fairly easily (mostly motorway driving). At the end of the day, driving style (acceleration & braking) will be a significant factor in how many miles you can squeeze out of a tank of fuel. A 6th gear probably would help too, though only found on the 'sport' versions I guess.
