   Mine does around 300 to a tank before it hits the white line.. motorway miles 40mpg give or take
   
   Yours would look at about 50 odd mpg lol. No chance
   
   Say you did that drive again.. near 450 miles to a tank? lol.

   My 106 GTI managed 47mpg average going to FCS and back doing about 70 all the way.
   
   Going to town and back from my house (also known as a combined cycle) and I manage about 36mpg.
   
   
   
   OP managed 43mpg (217 miles / 4.95 gallons (half a tank))

   A tank is 45 litres from dry to full.
   
   That's 9.9 gallons ish.
   
   noob
   
   
   450 miles / 9.9 gallons is 45mpg.
   
   Obviously, you can't use all the fuel in the tank.
   
   
   Just face it, your car is broken.

    45 litre tank - £1.44 a litre (momentum 99) = £64.80 But is never empty so lucky to get 55-60 in.

    About average, though pretty good indeed. Next time try without putting your right foot down at all and you might notice a difference

    Wish I got mpg as good as mentioned in this thread
    
    My car runs fine.
    But with xsi gearbox, cams, lots of short in traffic journeys and too much use of the loud pedal.
    All add up to poor mpg.

    You don't need to.........easiest way to work out how many mpg you do is fill the tank completely fuel,when the fuel stops pumping.
    
    Reset the trip meter then drive about until you've used about half a tank then go fill up.
    
    Fill it up full again then keep a note of how many litres it takes to fill up.....lets says its 30 litres and you've done 200 miles.
    
    Divide 30 litres by 4.5 to give the gallons used then divide the 200 by the gallons used and that will give you your mpg.
    
    This example is 30mpg....

    VTR's yo do like 50mpg :')
    The needles arent that accurate, you would be better filling it back full and working out what you have actually got.
