MPG
Sorry for the 'quality' of the photo, was taken in the dark with a camera phone. Anyway, it allows me to ask the question...
What MPG do you get from your car?
Golf TDI - Short runs around town, generally around 42mpg, mixed use 48-50mpg, long motorway runs >50mpg. The above are figures for the whole tank worked out on a spreadsheet as ours doesn't have the mpg feature on the trip computer - a colleague at work with a similar model with the same engine, but including the trip computer says that his will quite often hit 60mpg on the motorway.
Focus 1.6 - Don't have a full set of figures, but for the usage where the Golf produces 48-50mpg, the Focus does 34mpg.
