I did a 700 once in my mk1 with venting. 600s were hard without venting.
I've done a 570 in my mk2.
Engine is definitely loosening up nicely.... got 53mpg on a very leisurely 18 mile commute this morning....
18,800 ish
Service reminder is on but im waiting till nearer 20k before I take it to AMD
think im on for about 580 with this tank according to the computer... always ends up less than it tells you though
Yeah it drops right off on the last 1/4 of the tank, like most trip computers really.... lying
that they are!can I ask what speed you do on the motorway?? I've read that 6th at 70mph is the most economical, did this on a long trip last night and barely managed to get to 40 mpg . . . and that WAS driving like a grandad, tickling the accelerator and you say that you weren't driving like a grandad and get much better . . .
unless there's something wrong with mine?
cheers

To be honest my trip was mostly A roads, as i said in the first post and I didnt really use 6th very much, but yeah your right 70 in 6th should give you more than 40mpg... im pretty sure my commute home I get 40ish and thats doing 70ish...
It depends what you define as driving like a grandad, I havent been driving that long (3 years) so I guess I maybe dont have so many bad habits, I very rarely have to brake unlike some idiots you see on motorways and A roads constantly braking, makes me laugh
What I love about the car is that you can keep it around 2k and get very decent mpg for the type of car but when you want to you can put your foot down and blow most of the other traffic away...
I once saw a reply on here that if you got more than 35mpg and changed gear before 4k in the FR TDI you were not driving it properly so everyone has a different point of view
Ive said many times I regularly get 50mpg+ from my commute to work listening to pop quiz and 40ish on the way home when nothing (usually) passes me

Ive always used bog standard supermarket diesel + millers
im usually keeping to between 60 and 70 depending on whether im going uphill or downhill, rarely have to brake and it maddens me so much when terrible drivers infront do something to ruin it for you and you have to brake then waste fuel accelerating back up to speed again! I think i may have become slightly obsessed since ive switch the computer to viewing my mpg instead of the time...
