Difference on my 33 mile commute using cruise control @ 60 mph to 70 mph is huge - 57mpg@60mph / 42@70mph
Wow, massive delta. I think the cars have gearing/fuelling optimised for 60mph - 90km/h.

What difference have you noticed with the DTUK? I’ve been toying with the idea of something like that.
I assume this is typo as 1 mile would be a walk or a bike ride, not a commute
I am surprised you get any heat from the seat !
Do you have any 0-60 figures or power increases?Sorry mate, been away over the holidays. Yeah the DTUK box is brilliant, you can definitely feel the difference. Even on the first setting the throttle was much more responsive and was much revvier than stock. It's now much easier to heel toe and rev match if you're into that kinda thing.
Thanks for the review, you can turn down the sensitivity of the pre-sense in the MMI car settings menu, I have mine set to low. However if you turn it off completely it will turn back on to the last setting on engine switch off switch on...
You'll be surprised what the pre-sense will pick up, fences, hedges, pedestrians on the pavements. If it think you are getting up close to something too rapidly it'll ping at you. Doesn't just work on radar but on approach speed as well..
Just wondering if you are still using the car, i bought an 67 plate 1.4 tfsi and done 11k miles so far after i bought. i get 50-54 mpg on the motorway and 32-34 in the city.I still see nowhere near those MPG figures.
Easy 50s on the motorway? I wish. Best I've ever had is low 40s on a pretty constant 60-70mph stretch of the M25.
And town driving is 30 if I'm lucky (and I'm usually not). I've never seen 35 in town.
I'm s-tronic not manual, but the s-tronic tends to change a lot earlier and therefore keep the revs a lower than I probably would in a manual.
