Just to continue the mileage portion of this thread, my auto 2.5L gets 11.54L/100km when I drive it like a grandma (keeping it under 3k RPMs - I only drive ~20km a day in city traffic). A full tank is ~51L (87 octane) and that gets me ~440kms. I had to purposefully drive like a grandma for a full tank to get that mileage.
My GTI 337 (1.8T - 6spd) used to get ~450kms per tank which worked out to roughly the same mileage (~12L/100kms) using 91 octane but I got that with a combo of regular spirited driving and hypermiling.
I miss my 337.
I do have to remember that my 2.5 is an auto and it's also a wagon (heavier) so that's two strikes against fuel economy. But it just sucks to have to drive slow to get the same mileage.
