As a 1st time owner of Vw golf I've been delighted with it and it's performance over the last 4 months. How ever it's not all been smooth sailing. I've recently replaced the front lambda sensor and water temperature sensor because I was only getting around 18mpg. Since then it's crept upto 25mpg which still isn't great! It's a 2liter gti mark 4, V plate, petrol. Just wondered what the general consesnsus on the consumption was? I'm hoping to draw on your knowledge as I'm sure some of you will have been proud golf users and owners much longer than me. So what is everyone average mpg?

Cheers in adavance guys, and gals
