and we aren't running sticky 245s, lol. I'll be putting on 225 AS3+ here in June. Hope to not take too much of a hit.

Yeah, I got 43mpg on a 65mph two lane hwy. Below 70mph the GTI gets crazy good mileage.
yes. Nice May day, long drive on main highway, cruise set to 70, I saw a measured 46.
I averaged about ~31mpg in my 2017 GTI on its first road trip. Round trip to/from Vegas was about 600 miles. The AC was on most of the time and I had cruise control set to 75mph. I've got about 6700 miles on the odo.
Best I've ever seen was ~34mpg...and that was after about a 1 hour drive on a relatively flat highway at about 65-70mph.

I did a road trip from North Carolina to Florida 2 months into owning the car back in 2015.
This was before the roof rack and the data was:
876 miles
average speed of 65mph
13 hours and 32 min
36.9 MPG
The picture is on Instagram and I'm too lazy to link hah.
Currently I drive 50 miles daily and it is mostly highway but it's a lot of stop and go.
It is a 25 mile trip each way that takes about 40-50 min depending on traffic (sometimes better sometimes worse).
I usually get between 27 and 32 mpg with the roof rack and faring.

Havent hand calculated yet but my commute is typically ruralish highway driving 50-60mph with very few stops and the lie o meter tells me 34-36mpg depending on if I warm it up in the morning (which I havent lately)
I have noticed the mpg slowly getting better as it breaks in. 6k miles now.

Gas mileage is so dependent on several factors. Temperature, wind, driving style/speed, etc. The last several days were near ideal "mpg" days on my 51 mile one way commute to work. The first 6 miles are back roads w/40 mph speed limit. Perfect to warm the engine up. The balance of the trip is highway 55/65 mph speed limit. Now, I drive like Granny in the morning and get great gas mileage, almost always in the 40's regardless of the season. Below are "screenshots" of the drive in early in the morning with no traffic and no stoplights to speak of. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the computer but it's probably slightly on the optimistic side.
The trip home is a different story. I usually average about 35 mpg at an average speed of well over 60 mph and lately with the A/C on.
This is all with a '17 GTI Sport with 6 speed manual and a Unitronic stage 1+ tune. To me the perfect balance of power and mpg's!

I get about 1-2 mpg less with my S3(R) than I got with my GTI over the same commutes, measured by mileage and many fill ups calculated - not from the bogus infotainment reading. The GTI was very overstated, where the S3 is within a mile per gallon accurate.

Wow those screenshots are impressive.
I apologize for the off topic question, but did you have to replace your clutch when you went with the unitronic tune? If not, how is the stock clutch holding up?
Do we know the net elevation change for those screenshots?
Ive seen similar numbers holding 60mph in perfect weather with no net elevation change. If your return trip is lower, might mean you're climbing back up hill.
Btw, i have a 17 Sport MT6 also, and probably at 48mpg indicated by computer, real is 44-45mpg, about 6-7% discrepancy. My mk6 Golf was always dead on. No doubt VW trying to win points in the MPG wars - Im sure most people don't question the dashboard numbers.
