What are the real mpg figures for a Volkswagen Golf V?

Can you provide the real mpg figure for a 2008 1.4 Volkswagen Golf and Golf Plus TSI SE DSG 5-door. The figures on the list don't distinguish between petrol and diesel.

Golf V here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volkswagen/golf-v-200.../ Figures for 1.4 TSI, but not DSG. Golf V Plus here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volkswagen/golf-plus-...5. 1.4 TSI DSG got 41.3mpg. A 1.4 TSI is not a diesel.
