If I thrash the throttle I get 30-35mpg but usually it's about 38, only ever had 40 in motorway driving

Seat's figures of 64 extra urban and 57 combined is a fair bit out. Highest I saw mine was 40.1 on the way home from the Blackpool meet earlier this year.Pretty far off what I was hoping for, and Seat's figures. Ok, we know the latter is fiction but it's not even close.

My car is remapped but I doubt that'd throw a whole 20mpg down the drain. There'll be a loophole in the fine print that gets them out of being sued over the performance claims. They'd probably just pull a variation of what Apple did with the iPhone 4 and say "you're driving it wrong"The official top figure for the 1.6 TDi is 72 mpg I think. The highest I've achieved is just over 60mpg so you're talking eleven or twelve mpg out.
If 40 mpg is the best you can get out of the 1.4 TSi that's a massive 24 mpg less. That's not trivial, in my opinion it's fraud. People buy cars based on these figures and how accurate they are has real world financial implications. These lies cost people a lot of money.
VW were sued because their cars did not meet emissions claims. Why are they not sued because if their economy claims are total lies?
I average nearly 60 mph on motorways if traffic is clear in roadworks which I think is really good for a petrol turbo. Average between 50 and 55 on standard motorway drive which is basically diesel numbers.
I have a 1.4 act remapped to 178bhp..
Mine is running a weaker map at 170 for that very reason, but the Clarkson in me still wants more powerNo way I'd have the guts to do that. I'd be terrified the thing would blow up!

Mine was doing 62.1 mpg average in the roadworks on the M62 cruise set to 50 mph let the car do the rest.
Once out of the roadworks needless to say the mpg went down.
That is brilliant. Are you a grandmother? ;0)
I have the 1.4 125 and I’m getting 36mpg, mostly short journeys, around 10 miles a day.
