You must have a featherlite touch. I averaged 31 on a 230 mile run up to Edinburgh today. Granted it was 4 people and luggage. Steady 70-80mphI have the 310 VZ petrol and driving very conservatively I can get 40mpg
Do you use the ACC?I have a VZ2 Hybrid, after the battery has been used I'm getting around 36mpg on a motorway run of 50 miles averaging 53 mph.
is this to be expected?
Sounds about right to me, I’ve got a VZ2 310. I’m just coming up to 5k miles and I’ve hit 40mpg on no more than two or three occasions in that time. Only way to get that sort of mileage for me is to drive at around 60-65mph on motorways and A roads. Round trip to Gatwick of 160 miles recently, which is a good mix of roads, two people and luggage: 35mpg.I averaged 31 on a 230 mile run up to Edinburgh today. Granted it was 4 people and luggage.

If I was that concerned about MPG, I wouldn’t be driving a Formentor, I knew what I was getting into.
Exactly. I’m lucky in that post-lockdown my firm continued its working from home policy, so my 280 mile a week commute has been reduced to around a 100 miles a month. When it was time to trade in my Leon, it was an easy decision. Even with buying 99 RON fuel and mental road tax I’m better off.that goes with the territory of owning a performance car.
Drive it and enjoy it .
The proper measurement for a performance car is best shown in;Agree.
Fuel consumption is quite often discussed on some VW forums in relation to performance cars, which I do find a little surprising; if someone driving a VW Golf R expected to get VW up! fuel consumption, they bought the wrong car.
Granted, having to fill the tank is an ongoing cost that can’t be ignored, and enthusiastic driving in an ICE performance car (or any ICE car for that matter) means more frequent trips to the filling station and higher overall expenditure on petrol, but IMHO that goes with the territory of owning a performance car.

Wow, clearly my version of conservative driving differs from yoursI have the 310 VZ petrol and driving very conservatively I can get 40mpg
I'm afraid I'm with you on this one Dom. I'm well chuffed if I can get 25 on a daily basis, but can get 35 on a long, motorway stretch. I guess it's the price to pay for having a leaden right foot!Wow, clearly my version of conservative driving differs from yours
I get 23 ish mpg on my commute and my first M1 trip yesterday was 32 mpg which was using ACC and sticking to the speed limit.
I do mainly motorway and have to use the eco cruise as much as I can but it’s more than possible.Wow, clearly my version of conservative driving differs from yours

Haha love it. You can turn the Eco tips off its on the infotainment system somewhereCUPRA mode all day every day, Start car -Set Gearbox to Sports mode - Engage!
Don't care what the mpg says - it's gonna be better than the Mustang any day.
Just wish I could find a way to stop getting the little eco love notes from Greta in the binacle - if I'd wanted eco tips I would have bought a Toyota Pious
I’ve just got the vz2 310bhp only 3 weeks old, still not run in with only 500 mile on the clock but I’m getting 34.5 average at 70+ mphWow, clearly my version of conservative driving differs from yours
