Just to add to the brake binding theory; when I took my GDi to Techniques for it's first service (Techniques were my nearest service agents) they re-routed the rear brake cable which had been causing the rear brake to bind ever so slightly. I was amazed at how much livelier the car felt immediately and the fuel economy also improved.
