What are the real mpg figures for a Volkswagen Golf V?

Can you provide the real mpg figure for a 2008 1.4 Volkswagen Golf and Golf Plus TSI SE DSG 5-door. The figures on the list don't distinguish between petrol and diesel.

Golf V here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volkswagen/golf-v-200.../ Figures for 1.4 TSI, but not DSG. Golf V Plus here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volkswagen/golf-plus-...5. 1.4 TSI DSG got 41.3mpg. A 1.4 TSI is not a diesel.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
