I've just averaged 27.5mpg from £50's worth of fuel, this included one trip of 80 miles set at 70mph and rest commuting to work (11 mile round trip). this was mostly driving like a saint though, typically I average under 25mpg.
My average since getting it is 32 mpg. That's driving mainly inner city and short journeys. I don't get much chance to floor it. I've left start / stop on though as spend a lot of time not moving.
You don’t go above 70 and only get 22mpg? I drive 25 miles often and usually end up going circa 100 (dual carriageway) and still manage 34..... that’s in Cupra mode having a bit of fun also. If I’m on comfort and really try I can get 39mpg easily
I would be minted if it wasn’t for my Cupra lolyou guys must be minted with the cupras, I nearly purchased an Ibiza Cupra but just couldn't bring myself to do it because of the MPG compared to the Leon Fr. My previous Ibiza FR managed 40 mpg, my current car (leon) manages to do 50 mpg. My work journeys are short and sweet and usually tend to hit traffic on dual carriage way, park way in sheffield which is like a mobile carpark so its usually a 40 min commute. Hopefully will purchase a cupra in the future but it just wouldn't suit my job driving ect.. at the moment.

The Stop/Start is not a fuel saving feature, it's to reduce emissions. Engine not running, no emissions. It reduces MPG as starting the car uses more fuel.Make use of start stop as much as possible (if the engine isn't hot and you have heating on, turn the heater off when you stop and it will turn the engine off)
Lift and coast as much as possible

Tell that to my Cupra.The Stop/Start is not a fuel saving feature, it's to reduce emissions. Engine not running, no emissions. It reduces MPG as starting the car uses more fuel.
The only time I use it is if I'm in a traffic jam.
Actually it was found that having the start stop kick in for 30 seconds saves more fuel with re starting than if you left it running.The Stop/Start is not a fuel saving feature, it's to reduce emissions. Engine not running, no emissions. It reduces MPG as starting the car uses more fuel.

Even compared to my old civic type r, high revving n/a 2.0l half as slow as a cupra but used twice as much go go juice.Compared to an SUV or American muscle car yes, but I can't see the green party promoting the cupra as their answer to global warming just yet...
When I had an ep3 I'd be lucky to get 300 miles to a tank but many smiles per milesEven compared to my old civic type r, high revving n/a 2.0l half as slow as a cupra but used twice as much go go juice.
Anything that can get circa 35mpg is not a massive gas guzzler these days. My old civic never even used to see 30mpg but it didn’t bother me you do not buy a sporty car for fuel economy, and if you do then you bought the wrong car for your needs
