The cruise control was mainly set to 60, but a couple of spurts to overtake and some lower speeds on the smart motorways.That's impressive. What motorway speeds were you doing to get that?
Aircon set on eco. I did notice that whilst on cruise control and going downhill, the engine wouldn’t turn off. I’d knock the cruise off going downhill to enable the coasting
And that's with a brand new engine of circa 500miles only and E10 petrol?The cruise control was mainly set to 60, but a couple of spurts to overtake and some lower speeds on the smart motorways.

Over the weekend, drove from M1 J13 to Shepherds Bush London via M25, M40/A40 - lots of traffic with 40-60 variable speed limit but no start/stop.
62.5MPG when we reached there.
Came back late night so fewer traffics and drove lot faster - only 45MPG. Comfort mode both ways.
Fuel was Tesco 99RON E5. The car has done about 13k miles so far, 35TFSI Stronic.

Weather is a bit warmer now (not by much), so mpg figures are improving. On E10 Texaco fuel, city drive from East London Westfield to West London Westfield city streets 20-30mph, got these figures. Granted, it was 9am on a Sunday, but still! Lots of MHEV long stints with engine off rolling up to a traffic light. Haven't used the car much since petrol prices increased, already done 367miles with '140' miles remain, so en route to a therethical 500 plus miles a tank. When it was filled it showed 520 miles range left.
!
Just under 20 degrees, finished the E5 RON 99 momentum, filled up with E10 Esso 95 @ £1.79 . 560 miles left at fill stn (didn't even fill to click) At least I managed 70+mpg with E10! Needed to as petrol is so expensive!
Meanwhile on its TDI more econonical A5 brother, a 70 ish mile trip, predominantly going 70mph ish

I used it for trips lately so it gave me 950 km of range. Didn't use the full tank but I already did 750 km before refuelling, so I m guessing it would be accurate

the most I have see is in the 73mpg took this once finally stopped, this was after around 80 miles.
mpg is always better on the A roads
When I’m not trying and going up and down the A1 it’s usually around 67 mpg
My long term average is 61 mpg that’s almost from brand new I accidentally reset it after the 2nd or 3rd filll but never touched it since so that’s around 9000miles now
Car is a 35TDI
I’m happy with the mpg it did seem pretty poor originally but has definitely improved since getting car in April

I still don't get why your short term memory shows 11.0 l / 100km. That is too much.I used it for trips lately so it gave me 950 km of range. Didn't use the full tank but I already did 750 km before refuelling, so I m guessing it would be accurate

I have similar issue with my car.
Every new day i get my car from the parking, the short term-memory shows 40.90 l / 100 km, which is insane.
If i reset it, my consumption is ~ 9.0 - 12.0 l / 100km in city traffic which.
It feels kind of weird, because when i stop in traffic lights and the engine doesn't go off, i see a steep incline in consumption like ~ 0.1 l / second.
Is this normal ?

I think it's normal. When you start in the city it doesn't have the time to drop. All my cars started from 40+ lt/100km and then dropped, so it's not representative of your consumption.
When I start driving out of the city it drops to 6,8-7 within 2 km.
Long term memory is 6,1 lt/100 km

Last 18-19 months worth of mpg. Biased towards city 20-30 mph roads by the low average mph. This includes 700+ miles of 'touring' speeds for holiday to and from London - Cornwall just last week. However even before that it was still 47/48s mpg. Wonder what my revs were doing at 1.5k at 0mph in Park with park brake on..hmm
A bit over 30 on mine, including a long "I'm late" drive back on the French autoroutes at 130kph (about 82 and a bit MPH) all the way last week.
Closer to 37 on a regular mainly motorway trip in the UK that involves a good bit of 50mph average speed check section of the M42.
