When I got my 1.0 EcoTSI DSG, paper mpg is 64mpg....delivery mileage of 170 miles was 57mpg. I have no clue what speeds the delivery person was doing, perhaps 60-65 mph. But since 180 miles (when I got it), it could routinely do over 50mpg on 40-60mph roads routes, even had a few 60+ mpgs for the journey. Now it has 11k miles, but my experience is that mpg on my car (at least according to the trip computer) didn't really get better. Bear in mind, this is a 3 cylinder engine. Trip computer vs amount put the tank calculated was within 1% for mine. On Friday I pick up my new car, also a 1.5 Turbo, but Volvo V40, and no cylinder shutdown (bye bye Seat for a bit). I wonder what mpg I would get on the 250 mile trip down...would be happy if I can get 40-45mpg (paper is 50mpg combined). Also is yours a manual or DSG? on my DSG, it would upshift around 1.7-2k rpms...
