There have been a few threads about fuel economy and it seems that different owners can get varying consumption figures from the same engine. Mine is the 2.0 tfsi 190 PS.
The demonstrator I drove with this engine had covered 3000 miles and the long term memory showed 37 mpg, so that was my benchmark. Sure enough, my consumption was a constant 37 mpg - until just recently when it has crept up to 39 mpg. I have now covered 6,500 miles.
When I took delivery, the salesman said that the economy would improve as the engine beds in, but I took that with a pinch of salt. However, I'm delighted to say that he was right. I check the consumption after each tankful and I check the long term memory from time to time. At the moment it's showing 39.8 mpg.
I think that is very impressive for an engine of this capacity and power output. It only increases my love for the car!
