Knight - that is impressive. I have never done that. Just out of interest when you fill up do you vent? I think mine has such a small tank as £35 (ish) fills it up...
im not sure where this leaves me, but i filled my car right upto the cap last tuesday, and early hours wednesday morning i went down to norfolk, a 4hour journey from where i live, and when i checked the trip reading it said 230 and that was only on half a tank. the second half did not do so well on the way back lol!
I recently got 32MPG from 15 quids worth of fuel, mixture of town/country driving... 
I don't drive everywhere with my foot nailed to the floor, but little things like holding onto revs too long, and occasionally flooring it to overtake, make a HUGE difference.
As a trial, i'm filling it to the brim with Optimax/V power, then giving it Redex treatment. i'm also adjusting my driving style, things like coasting up to junctions/roundabouts, changing up before 3K RPM, being gentler with the clutch etc..
I'll report back to see what i can get it to

no never vent, i usually get about 43 litres in there...tank is 45!
i always reset my number 2 mpg when i fill up, then i know the mpg of the tank, as it never resets untill you manually do it!
i just drove like a granny to see if i could do it....got 62.7mpg this morning for 16 miles to owrk..was clear so maintained almost 60 the whole way....
the trip computer is not 100% accurate however!
some statistics
kidinspace 1.2 12v like myself, to his first quarter tank he got, 175.9 miles, and its not even dead on a quarter.....lookies
and me well i left with just under a half tank, was about 15 miles on it already before i left
photo at traffic light just after Ibrox
photo when i got home
almost used a full quarter tank from Kilmarnock to Braehead roundtrip giving me about 60 miles to a quarter tank i think i will get to 70 before its dead on, point being Gareth gets 175 and i get 70 per quarter
, i am going away to cry now, i think i will do as everyone instructed and remove the induction kit and get a panel filter in there,

it was a cone filter. ive removed both exhaust and filter now and im averaging about 400 mile to a tank
Right, well i'm confussed now. I'm getting piss poor results for my derv, and i'm not even driving like a plonker. Usually get around 380 before the red light comes on, I then fill up very soon after this.
For I filled up a full tank on friday, I then just put another £20 in it, making it full again. In which time I had done 233 miles... I find like Scott that to 3/4 left takes ages, then it just goes so quick. It has also just had a full service. BTW main driving is on A roads, with the last 10 miles on my 30 mile commute being through town, every morning I will get between 55mpg and 65mpg... i'm confussed

im not actually any good when it comes to diesels but ive looked into it and you could try using millers , people i have spoken to say its good and improves mpg. you could also check you egr valve isnt clogged. correct me if im wrong.
EGR valve eh... Food for thought, thanks. Have also herd about millers and other additives. However if kinght's derv is getting 600+ to a tank, then there must be something wrong!
Scott - I also hate cars, when they don;t work as they should do

Hello, this is my first post.
I brought a brand new 1.2 Referance Sport 57 Plate. I fill my tank up and get about 330 to 350 miles.

i have same problem...fill up just before or after fuel light come on, and i only manage to get 35-37ltr in there should be 8ltr left, but trip computer tells me i can only do 50miles ish?? my old mitsubishi (05 reg) 1.1 colt can do better!!!
I have now decided that my gage is faulty. or at least that is what i'm going to tell myself... Now way can i be bothered to take it to a garage, fork out a load of money for them to come back and say my car is fine...
I've only had my cupra tdi for a few weeks, but i seem to be getting way less to a tank than the rest of you.
About 340 -350 miles to a tank (fill shortly after the red light). From my calculations it's doing about 38-40 mpg.
Looks like everyone else is getting way more, don't drive it hard but 50% of the miles would be in town.

Very similar to you here mate. However I would say that only about 30% of my miles are town...

Glad to hear i'm not the only one. Mine has a custom map and a full milltek but I doubt whether that influences it much.
Out of interest, does any have severe traction issues with their cupra? If the road is vaguely damp, there's no point giving it the throttle in 2nd and into 3rd as all it does is try to spin! I'm rocking goodyear eagle f1's so the tyres can't be the issue.
