Hi all,
I haven't used this site for quite sometime. But, just a quick question.
I am currently changing jobs, so i will be traveling around 55 - 60 miles a day (motorway miles)
I currently drive a Clio 197. But i'm looking into purchasing a new Polo gti, what are they like on MPG in real life.
They claim mid 40's, but is this true?
Many thanks
Matt

Re: Vw polo GTI 6R MPG?
I'm currently getting 32mpg.
It's all short trips and urban but with less than 900miles on the clock and a fairly heavy foot. I'm expecting it to continue to improve now that I'm using super unleaded exclusively and as the engine loosens up.
High 30s for urban driving on super unleaded is about the norm from my research although I have got the current mpg display to show 200

Re: Vw polo GTI 6R MPG?
I drive to work one Monday stay there for the week and back on the Friday. 130 miles each way using premium unleaded and it varies between dual carriageway, motorway and single roads. 80mph normally on the dual carriageway and I've got anything between 43mpg to 47.5mpg. Driving around home areas and having a bit of fun then the mpg drops significantly - if you want to get good mpg for that work journey then it's easily done!

Get about 40 on the motorway and anything from 19-35 around town ! That's running stage 2 mods !

Re: Vw polo GTI 6R MPG?
Stage 1 CC Map and CAI - 9 miles town driving to work I get around 40 - 50 mpg. Motorway driving Mid 40's be gentle on the right foot. And as others say, Boost time between 15 - 20 mpg. IMO for the performance you get out of these there a no brainer, plus only £125 - 130 a year road tax and cheap insurance = awesome
Re: Vw polo GTI 6R MPG?
ive seen upto 45mpg( calculated brim to brim) when i owned mine they can be really economical
