I've been seeing 35mpg this week, currently doing a 5-mile each way commute in stop start traffic. Not bad, but could be better.

Just been out on a 80 mile run, 70 of which was motorway, managed 55.9mpg according to the OBC:
Quite impressive for the 1.4 petrol IMO! This was with mostly sitting at 60 in the inside lane, but still shows the official figures can be achieved and exceeded.

The 1.4 16v 85PS SE (I think that's what your driving) has an extra urban figure of 60.1 mpg. So 55.9 mpg didn't quite exceed the official figure.
You exceeded the combined cycle figure but I think an 80 mile run with 70 miles of motorway qualifies as an extra urban journey. Travelling at a bit less than 60 mph will probably get you the extra 4.2 mpg no problem.
But I have to agree 55.9 mpg is very impressive for a petrol engine at 60 mph.
True, but to be technical mine has the EU4 engine so its extra-urban figure is 55.4mpg (see http://www.scribd.com/doc/51289948/Ibiza-SC-Brochure-April-2009 page 30) whereas the current EU5 1.4 is rated at 60.1 mpg extra-urban as you said

Apologies, I stand corrected
. I used the August 2010 Tech Spec brochure and they are all EUV emission engines in there. I just wish mine could beat its official figures at any speed right got the car back. women on desk said they didnt see much wrong?? lol they gave me the ecu update and gave me new washer jets haha??
drove back took 35 mins and i got 64.8mpg!
im not getting my hopes up yet as its only 1 trip but ive just filled the car up and going to give it a week and see what i get but i can safely say ive never had it that good on a town trip at traffic time.

50 mile journey on the motorway. Never went about 65MPH.. My personal record of 54.9MPG! I love school holidays didn't have to stop once on the motorway!
New 1.2TSi DSG.
I've just done the calculations for 7 brim-to-brim re-fuels. A lot of short run stop-start driving plus the occasional longer trip. Over 2440 miles the car has averaged 39.5mpg; worst was 35.7, best was 43.2.
Pretty much what I expected given the type of driving we have to do in Milton Keynes.

I did the worst fuel trip I have to do and I got 43.5mpg it's only about 3 miles driving round Leeds city centre at traffic time.
I guess if my worst trip it's as good as my average was it's Gota be better.
Only done 50miles since I got the car back so still early days

That post ECU update? Mine's in for service on monday, so fingers crossed it'll quench the thirst
Cruising mode: 7.8lt/100km =~ 31 mpg
Hammering: 11lt/100km =~ 20.6 mpg
p.s. these are with my current mods: stage 1 Revo+intake

Not quite as bad as that
7.8 l/100km is about 36 mpg
11 l/100km is about 26 mpg
Divide into 282.5 to convert one to the other.
rough figures for mine
1.4 Sport SC
Fill Computer shows: 360-400 miles
Average MPG: 44.7 (around 2000miles 70% motorway driving)
Motorway MPG at below 70mph: 47(ish)
Motorway MPG at above 70mph: 42(ish)
Town MPG: 35-38
Last fill up at 132.9p litre around £59, 45 litre tank
max i have seen 50.2mpg out of it coming back from Northampton to Cardiff on the way back from Early Edition at below 70mph all the way
I have a 1.4 SC - my fill computer never shows anywhere near 400 !!
mine starts at 350ish when i fill up, and then after abit of driving goes up to 375/380 and always seems to stay around that figure for a few days.
filled up yesterday, and it crept up to 440! was long motorway drive that did it. computer said i got 52mpg for a 80mile trip
