MPG: Corrado VR6 v S3

[quikstu]

Hello folks, been here a while as the missus is an A3 owner, but never really posted.
Currently have a 1994 VW Corrado VR6, and am now (heavily) swaying towards a TT or an older S3.

The Corrado returns 28/29mpg on average. What's the S3 likely to give me?
The reason I ask is that 'official' figures are not always realistic figures.

Thanks in advance.

only got an A3 1.8TS. but i thought it might help a little.

Mines the same as yours on the v6

I average 28mpg overall, motorways 32-34mpg. And a late night drive back from the airport through fast country roads (last night) about 24-25mpg.

Hope this helps.

I was averaging 32MPG and on a recent motorway trip managed an average of 37MPG!

In the long term, with a mix of hard and motorway driving I get 29mpg.

I get around 30 MPG Mixed Driving and about 38 MPG on a run on the motorway taking it easy (70 - 80 MPH)

If it helps, I had a Golf VR6 before the S3 and the S3 is much much better on fuel!

mine averages 26.6mpg about 150 miles out of half a tank if that helps.
