Drove it the same as I did the Leon. 70mph for 80 miles a day and 40 miles of twisties. My motorway cruise helps loads. If I arse it home I gain 10mins and lose 10mpg so I can't see the point.

vwpologti, maybe you should correct your sig to say "you can win but you're still a retard!"

Cost wise is obviously more than the Leon where I spent up to £60 a week. It has a 62L tank but I've not managed to get more than 59L in it. No venting on this where I managed to get 63L in the 55L Leon once. I'm also paying more for Tesco 99RON at the moment whilst I have a decent play.

I think once I've calmed down a bit it will cost me about £80 a week in fuel. I'd have a DERV coupe if someone did a nice one...

After a slight topical recess from posts 22 to 29 :p , I'd like to state how I think it's looking like I'm on for another good week of economy this week..

Fingers crossed. BTW Andy, rumour has it the new TT may have a diesel engine introduced shortly..

Yeah I had heard that it was to be based on the PD170. I'd like an A3 PD170 Quattro or an A4 3.0TDi Q but they're just too much money.

Want at least 200 again as my Leon wasn't far off the TT.

They're producing the A5 with a 3.0 V6 TDI :D Write up in this months evo, they really like it!

Recorded my best motorway MPG today from parents to pompey.

Sitting at an indicated 75/6mph and GPS read 70/71mph on cruise the whole way home I managed 59mpg on the trip computer (so genuine ~54/55). This was with a bootload of stuff too! A few boots off roundabouts but generally maintaining constant speed. Raised my average (second trip computer) from 46.5 (lots of town driving recently :( ) to 49.9mpg.

Best I have achieved was 64.1mpg but due to traffic I was doing a max of 55mph on the cruise so I find that hard to count.

Andy does the streamline hair help achieve the good mpg in the TT :p

Yeah the A5 is nice but again silly money. Only choice would be an A4 or 330cd.

It might have helped if I'd have bought the roadster!
