    What mpg are you sportback drivers getting? TDI 140 BHP

    "people never quote their engine, whether the figures are real or DIS etc etc. Also, people will look at their DIS more when they are under acceleration, hence it will show more" Exactly, everyone just throws pub figures round the place and tell them selves that there cars are doing 50 mpg!!
