    I'm averaging about 600km or so out of my last few tanks in my Mk5 Golf GTI 2.0 TFSI. Works out at roughly 32 mpg.

    Its an approx calculation but yeah that sounds about right (if a little on the conservatiev side)

    mpg - miles per gallon

    so divide the miles by the gallons (gallons are litres divided by 4.54)

    62 mpg. Hyundai i20, 1.2.

    I should add that there was very little town driving during this test - distance travel mainly with very little stop/start driving, and steady speeds of 80-100 kph.

    e39 525 auto; get about 28/29 on motorway / national road commute and about 23/24 in city driving. That's taking it handy.
