Golf GTD mpg

[Badmutha]

What realistic mpg could I expect from a Mk5 GTD, driving it as it's meant to be driven?

If it a Mk5, presumably you mean GT TDI? Also, 140BHP or 170BHP?

presuming you mean the Mk6 GTD 170bhp (as there never was a Mk5 GTD)...

Lad in work has one and on a long motorway run at no more than 80 mph and he gets 46-54mpg, depending on roadworks (50mph) and traffic.

Not sure on his daily mpg. Its only got a few thousand on the clock though.

My missus has the same engine in the TT, we did 486 miles last weekend over 3 days and averaged 44.6mpg (Again with less than 2k on the clock)

It's a 2007 170bhp model.It seems vw's figures are slightly optimistic.Tks for the info.

Our full road test of the MK 6 Golf GTD in the Sept 2009 issue of Volkswagen Driver magazine recorded 46.7 mpg overall and 68.9 on an economy drive.
