Usually, on the highway, I'm getting around 26 - 27, but I'm cruising at between 80 - 85 with frequent bursts of acceleration to pass. So again, not too shabby. My prior car, 2010 GTI, would average between 28 - 30 on the highway under similar conditions.
What I will add is that mileage has been improving slightly as it has been broken-in, now at 9,000 miles on the ODO. The car felt incredibly tight when I first took delivery and it has been slowly loosening up. I wouldn't expect to achieve the best numbers till it hits at least 20,000 miles.

Ya I was thinking the same thing once it gets some age and things really settle in to each other. Also what's hurting me is that my drive only has a ver short highway stretch to work. I only work about 7 miles from home and only 2 are highway so I know that's not helping either. And may I just say I LOVE your car and the color combo. If black wasn't so hard to clean Ida chose the exact same thing. But with white I felt it would make the oyster look dingy because it's a slight off white so I went with what I had always wanted coral red. But hands down your color combo is sex on wheels.
