how's your MPG?
Inspired by a note from Thalo on the 4 door GTI thread. How's your MPG? Or, uh, kilometers per litre <- ??
I didn't reset the counter for a long time when I got mine, and i was averaging 18 MPG on the first 1000 miles (I suppose mostly city driving, though). Yeah, if I put it in (D), and never push the pedal more than 1/10th down, it goes up a bit, but that's just no fun, and plain mean to the GTI... I have actually pulled 35 MPG on a long freeway stretch going 65 in 6th, but there was never any need to kick in the juice. On many trips I'm in the 15 MPG range, when I'm actually driving how it's meant to be driven.
