It's interesting that some of you guys are getting that low of mileage. Obviously I don't have the same car, but I get decent mileage in my MkV GTI 6MT 2.0T FSI. Combined suburb/highway driivng and not babying it all the time I get 26-28 in the warm weather calculating manually. Lately I've been getting 360-400 to a tank (I think Mk6's still have 14.5 gallon tanks). One tank I got 415 miles to and recently, I just had my best tank of 450 miles. This was under the same driving conditions but very warm weather (90's) and I only boosted maybe 5 times the entire tank. It killed me lol.
I rev-match my downshifts all the time and try to coast to stop lights. Now I'm not saying I baby my car, because I don't. I reguarly beat on it and still get over 26 in the warm weather. You'll find cold really kills mileage, but that's any car.
That's using 93 octane with 10% ethanol content. I've heard that aftermarket flashes make the car get better mileage when you're not boosting, so maybe that's it in my case. Either way, I'm not disappointed. It boosts 20+ on a good day and when I want to, I can get really good mileage. That tank of 450 miles ended up being 33.08 mpg calculating manually.
I'm nearing 70k.
