Great list so far, I'll try and stick them into a table when I get plenty of time to do so! 
I'm currently running on the more expensive Supermarket fuel.... and the first MPG was goddamn awful, although that was mostly Urban so possibly expected. But the rest of the week is Motorway miles so we'll see how it gets on!

Surprised at the poor mpg figures coming from the diesels. If you look at the official figures and compare them to the 106 diesel, it suggests they're a bit better (which is plausible, given its a turbo and a bit more modern/efficient). However, my previous car, a 1998 106 1.5 diesel, consistently achieved around 60mpg, the best being 63.5mpg and the worst being 58.1. That was mainly on A roads and sometimes urban areas, with the occasional motorway run. Sometimes I'd be late for work so I'd be putting my foot down, at other times I'd change up gear early in an effort to get best economy. But after a few tank fulls I soon realised that driving style didn't really have that much effect on mpg, so I stopped worrying about it and just drove it, knowing that if I did put my foot down, it wouldn't make that much difference. Granted its not the fastest car in the world, but it was fine in traffic etc and never really struggled; and also granted its a little bit smaller/lighter than a 206 (but not much).

was getting regular 55 mpg,never sparing it.206 1.6 hdi, great car until the turbo had a fit,and not long after the recon unit came out in sympathy.used to use my central heating oil,kerosene and a tad of 2stroke so the car didn't owe me anything and was retired with 170000 miles using 1.4 petrol now and wont be for much longer.

Standard 1.4 Hdi, 05 plate. I always zero the trip meter when I fill up and usually fill up with around £60 of diesel when the fuel light comes on. Mileage obtained is from 505 to 540 so by my reckoning, which may be wrong .. at 135.9p per litre and 44 litres, I get between 52.2 and 55.8 mpg which is driving to & from work along A roads everyday.

Get 36/37 mpg out of my lasses GTI.. From brimmed to light it's about 350 miles. That's with hardly any town work, pretty good I reckon.

I just worked mine out and its getting about 31mpg but thats normally round town, when I put a tenner in gets about 50 miles before the light comes on again. Not overly good that condsidering it says it should be doing 44mpg, its a 1.4 8V btw.

My TU3 206 does around 33.6 mpg average acording to the trip computer, im more then happy with that due to the way its operated 
Cost me just over £57 the other day to fill the tank after the light came on

Buy a diesel then if it bothers you.
Its a GTI, its NOT built for fuel economy.

If I'm a bit heavy footed I get around 45 and if I drive economically I can get 52 according to the trip computer
Doesn't sound right for an xsi? Too good to be true...
