Used to get about 23 before I had a turbo change - it's in at main dealers again for suspension faults again and I've mentioned to them to check it - again they've previously told me there's nothing wrong with it.

I have MTR's on as well which have done 42k miles will last another 5k. Sandy G4 KOM

Group: G4 Member Posts: 253, Visits: 2.9K	Hi Brendan, I seem to get pretty constant 23-24mpg, thats set up as she came out the factory, tyres, plaques etc. Would expect an average of 410 ish miles range on a well topped up tank. I'm mostly commuting 10 or so miles up the A3 and back, fast and slow, that said even long journeys I get about the same mileage. The only time things really drop is if I drift above 75mph. Hope this helps, Rich 2008 G4 D3 TDV6 BG08 VGY Team SA colours

Yours sounds well off to me tbh.
