Am pretty sure ive seen that ive got a mate that stays in merchant city, i have to be honest the only reason i drive up there is to look at my car side on in the shop windows lol
Thats like saying i got 13mpg from my hummer "once"
Its not exactly a Golf TDI when it comes to consumption, i know what your saying, whilst 40mpg is no doubt achievable its not exactly an average for it!
I average between 31-36 with all kinds of driving! The VTS Used to get 36-40 average
