I have made several attempts to submit real mpg figures for a model that currently doesn't show any Real MPG Avg or % figures.

Hey guys I have a 2006 VW Golf 1.6 FSi SE auto with 130k mileage. Passed its MOT in august. The car drives fine apart from when reaching speed of 60-80mph there is a strong vibration throughout the steering wheel/accelerator.. it does vanish from time to time.. there is also a cranking/creaking noise. Mechanic noticed wheel play on front left of the car after checking and saying a balance will make no difference.

Might have been a dry joint on the circuit board. If you can get it out for a good visual inspection. Otherwise might just last for another 172k miles !.
Good to hear that it's still giving you good service and hope future problems are minor.
