So I'm filling up with VPower, around £68-70 worth. My drive to work is around 4-5mins every morning & that's at 6am when temps are low. It stays parked up most days till 6pm when I finish and then maybe another 10min drive to gym then another 5 min drive from gym to back home. So overall v short journeys and not much driving in general.  Worked it out and I'm getting round 17.2-17.5MPG n average with only around 190 miles to a full tank.... WHAT, can this be right coz TBH this sort of MPG seems ridiculous to me... Whats people's opinions, is it the short journeys killing my mpg....?

Sorted my tyre pressures out this morning.  Seems running 1.6 bar instead of 2.5 bar is the reason I've been struggling of late.  Nice country road route today, 13 miles at the speed dictated by the people in front of me... not bad for stage 1 gti :laugh:


OOO Yeah...tyre pressure critical to good MPG and indeed handling....check mine about once a week :innocent:

1.4 TSI 170...
Best on a run 45MPG (mostly motorway)
Over the tank 40MPG (with some town driving)
Worst over a tank 32MPG

Pipercross air filter (don't think it makes much difference, possibly 1-2mpg)
With my old 140 TSI and a remap the best I ever got was 50MPG on a run! :) from 197BHP :)

Well my Ed30 was filled with V power around 3 weeks ago and so far I have done 301.7 miles and the range still says I have 140 miles left (showing around 1/3rd tank left), 200 miles of that was motorway and de-restricted A roads and the rest pootling back and forth to golf club (4 mile round journey)..

Cant quite believe it thus far as by 300 miles usually the fuel light is on saying I have 30 miles left.

Probably about right to be honest, short journeys with a cold engine and stop start traffic kill mpg.  TFSI only starts getting good MPG when it gets warm and at cruising speed.
