I'm heading up the coast for a week of pretty gentle cruising. Be interesting to see how it goes.

just needed to know, does the breaking in of your engine have anything to do with fuel consumption? eg. if you break it in right you'll constantly use lesser fuel. i'm getting ~7.1L/100 km on my 118TSI that has 2200km on it. doesnt seem to be going down

That sounds about right in real life conditions - it all depends on your right foot. What did you think it will be?
Maybe just enjoy the new car and stop worrying about FC

Pretty much what I got.I'm not complaining.If I wanted economy,I would've bought a diesel.
I'm happy with my figures and don't want to drive like I'm on my last gallon!

yes it does. I had a big consumption drop at 5000km & another noticeable drop at 15,000km. They take a while to break-in fully.

it claimed a 6.1/100km figure. and while i know its pretty much impossible to get that, i was expecting smth like a 6.5? i dont drive my car hard so i'm just puzzled that bout the figures. (my previous Mazda2 with a claimed 6.8/100km returned 6.9/100km)
haha FC is pretty impt to me (hence the 118TSI over the GTI). i'm still in uni and it adds up to ~ $5 more a week. its almost like my car is taking my lunch money once a week lol.
