Just received the following press release:  (!)

Volkswagen is pleased to report a successful performance in this month’s 2010 ALD Automotive/Total ECO 10 MPG Marathon.

Two vehicles were entered, both of which demonstrated impressive economy, thanks to a combination of engineering, technology and careful driving.

The Golf GTI with 2.0-litre 210 PS engine and DSG automatic gearbox has a manufacturer combined figure of 38.2 mpg.  Driven by David Madgwick and Ashleigh White, it achieved 55.63 mpg – a 45.62 per cent improvement – to claim the best percentage improvement accolade...!
