I'm n a cheaskate GTi manual and lucky if I see 260miles a tank. Average is 25mpg

Cold weather seems to have sapped it as in summer was getting around 29-31mpg and breKing 300+miles to every tank, and that's the same kind of journey to work too

I reset my MFD last july when i bought the car and at the time it showed 32.6mpg and would give 360 miles on refil, now it shows 22.8 and 300 miles to a tank but only does 280 before another refil of v-power is required! :scared:

i'm running the equivalent of stage 1 but these big heavy lead boots like to hold the pedals to the floor :laugh:

I once got 40mpg on a nice relaxing midnight drive to Doncaster at a steady 55 (average speed cams) but i didnt buy a gti to worry about fuel costs!   :signLOL:

I can just get mine to nip above 30mpg on a 50 mile trip. Average on pos 2 is 27mpg. I must admit I reckon this is crap for a modern car...my mk2 8v would do 35-40 on the same routes.

35.2 mpg over the last 72 hours or so.

I rarely do less than 100 miles on any trip and is most often along motorways and dual carriageways in or around rush hour. The speed is always between 50 and 70 at those times of day. The times I do get a chance to have a bit of fun are not often enough to alter the overall average consumption.

I also use it occasionally with the family in it so no chance of fun !!

I take great satisfaction in knowing that it is very fast without actually doing it
