We only have data on the U.S GTI trims, but it seems 44 mpg for petrol is pretty optimistic. These trims are all ~20/~30 city/hwy: http://www.automall.com/trims/make/Volkswagen/model/2009+GTI/zipcode/95762/

You should know better than to take seriously anything a new (or used) car sales person tell you about the vehicle.  Look at the window sticker for the projected mileage posted there and reduce that by about 15% to 20%. This will give a ballpark idea of the best mileage you can expect. Do your homework online before you start looking.
