Hello from sunny Cornwall,

Got mine almost a week ago. Loving the 5 cylinder engine. Sounds like a screaming banshee when I give it the beans (it's a 2018 car, with sports exhaust), hence the 26 mpg!

Best colour. Same as mine.

It probably looks nice for anyone living in New Zealand - it either has lots of grip or it makes me dizzy.

Welcome to the Catalunya Red Club.
Mine almost did a somersault off the lights the other day in the wet, so seeing one upside down is no surprise. Enjoy your car, they're brilliant.

Great looking motor that mate.. enjoy.

Welcome along. A friendly place with lots of good advice and knowledge. 26mpg is pretty decent? I would check for an obstruction under the Go pedal 😂

I usually have a very delicate right foot. Today I averaged 35mpg going to and from work (27 miles each way) - 36 mpg in the morning and 34 mpg coming home.

That's certainly doable m8 but not much fun, heehee.
As soon as I get a clear bit of road my right foot hits the floor, there's a slight delay followed by an enormous car fart and then it's straight to hyper speed in no time.

Likewise Scott - even if you do that only a couple of times you will be looking at 24mpg at best.  The way I look at it is, if I want to swan about and get decent mpg numbers then I may as well take the Mrs 8P TDI.....

hmmm... I am wondering if there is any problem with my RS3 or my right foot?       

My average is 14 mpg (17 lit /100 km) 

 I love this car   

and

Tortoise99: Enjoy your car!

I think you are driving it right mate - I feel your pain and share your fun. Smiles per gallon is the only measure needed for us!

[Luiggi]

  Thank's Evil Diesel. There is no pain    and a lot of fun   and smiles    .

I just want to encourage Tortoise99 to check for an obstruction under the Go pedal as StephenG mentioned

I am 10 days away from the 2 year aniversary of delivery of the replacement car and I was toying with the idea of putting together a total cost - I am not sure I want to go there - it is likely to spoil the last 2 years of my life laughing my arse off!

Hahahaha I know, I've only done bits and pieces, nothing like some of the guys on here but I love it! Fuel wise I'm lucky if I hit 25, normally its 18mpg. I think the next think on the to do list is new springs and then the reyland disks with new pads, but that'll be when these pads are worn now.
