Having owned the car for a week I drove it 60+ miles to the coast today. Flabbergasted and delighted...

The official Cupra figures are 30-32mpg.
 
I am too with my 2.0L petrol 190. Having come from a series of diesels over the last 30 years, the last 2 being BMW 2.0L coupes, which were returning 47mpg on my usual mix of driving, I was expecting the worst from a 2.0L petrol. But mine returns high 30's / low 40's most of the time, even including short trips. On a run I'm getting high 40's. So it is about 5-10 mpg down on my last BMW diesel, which is pretty good for a 4WD, heavy, petrol SUV.

It wasn't a fluke.
Looks like I've owned the car for a year now, so this is kind of an annual update. I drove 124 miles today and the car returned an mpg figure of 41.5 (5.7L/100km). Delighted - in fact for a 330bhp engine, it's fantastic. Was I thrashing it? - nope!
And she drives so smoothly. Unlike the problems of an owner in another current thread, the car is beautifully comfortable - and I have it on the firmest, Cupra, suspension setting.
