Spacers on a C7

Fair point. I have also discovered the flappy paddles are an extra! Something I didn't check, and wished I had.

I think you may have misunderstood. The 3L has greater MPG (in real life) over the 2L Multi.

Are they charging for paddles nowadays?

I wish I had known this! Really struggling with my 2.0 to get decent mileage out of it :-(

What mileage do you get if you don't mind me asking? What type of journeys do you drive?

I manage to eek 50 - 52 mpg on a 40 mile motorway journey. If I go at 60 mph.
At 70, I'm looking more 43, 44 mpg. Fairly rubbish, really. Especially when Audi quote 64.2 mpg for Extra Urban. Utter tripe.

I'd actually be fairly happy with that. I've never once had it into the 50s, ever. Not even in the warmer weather. Sounds like you're getting 2L manual sort of MPG there.

Unless this is sarcasm on your part, in which case, my "thing" didn't go off I'm afraid.
