That sounds about Right
I have a 1800 manual and if I drive like the Vicars Wife on Valium I get about 300 miles a Tank
If I drive as I like to I get about 250 Max
Automatics are renowned for their poor MPG
As are Mk2 Golfs especially with the little 1.6 motor
Buy A manual (Car that is) and you will find you have a lot more control over fuel use But dont expect Round the world mileage
