Golf R Observations and Questions

[team_v]

Question to R Owners, the fuel effeciency of the R has been touted as one of the big plusses but I am yet to hear any here who have hit those 8.7 /100 figures unless on the highway ( happy if anyone chips in with an update ) so my questions is 2 fold.

1. Now you have had your R for a while are the fuel figures more consistent
2. Those who have chipped thier R have they found improvement ( or not)

Constantly hitting 8.7 or better here
A lot of it comes down to the fact most of the R drivers only recently got their car adn they are fanging it around after having waited 6 months.
If you keep the revs down, change at 2000-2500RPM and follow the pump+coast you could probably get to the 8.7's

But realistically, no one bought the golf for it's fuel economy figures or you would have got a *insert brand* diesel
