Another MPG thread

[Nino]

@dazza  i dont have a heavy foot no. My car is a 55 plate but 2006 model, 70k  miles, fsh, had two cam belts/ waterpumps tenioners from vw. Not mapped ive installed a pannel filter but that's it. Its dsg and i tend to leave it in D ive done the pcv check and it seems fine. I even haf the c follower done.

My driving is a mixture of 7 mile journey to work amd back. I see around 26mpg there. I have had 30 on occasion. On weekends i drive 15 miles on the motorway to see family but juat about see 38mpg at a push and that keeping around 65mph.

Something isn't right if u guys are getting over 40mpg.

If you get it remapped it will get better @Nino

Because you get more torque lower down the engine doesn't have to work as hard.

you mean an eco map?

40+ is regularly seen in mine
As said standard car making 211bhp and 240ftlb on rollers recently so definately not mapped etc
Usually see 340-360 miles from a 50 litre fill up with mixed driving or as much as 440 on long motorway run using cruise at 70-80mph

Any good linear map will see an mpg increase although you can get maps aimed more at economy.

I have to drive above 80 to see less than 40mpg on the motorway. I find it quite an economic car to be fair. But I'm comparing it to my old Focus ST that was frankly awful on fuel

I do a lot of small trips car hardly gets up to temp. Will reset the MPG maybe even record my milage at the next fill up.

Bwa mate 

[dazjones757]

Is that the standard torque difference between the axx and bwa then? Think my axx is just over 200ftlb standard is that about right?

Reset the mpg trip and went for a drive to the stealers to pick up some trim clips. Didn't go WOT kept it in D, drove very sensibly 



12.7km/l >> 35.87mpg

Glad to know the poor mpg is down the driver and not the car. I can switch back to my normal driving style now.  If i wanted good MPG i would have bought a hybrid.

Know what your saying about not buying it for mpg mate as thats not the reason i bought mine as have the wifes Gtd for that but all the same I still don't hoon it to work everyday as what's the point?
I Like to chill out on way to work at 6:30am each morning not risk life and licence
Nice knowing you have a bit of poke there though for when the mood takes you, not cery often for me these days though with having a 1 year old daughter in the car with me quite often

TBH i'm a bit surprised about the MPG as i work from home. 90% of the time the wife and kids are in the car. So its very rare that i can put my foot down.

I think the golf is a great family car. Having driven the in laws honda jazz hybrid the golf feels so solid/safe. Reassuring if the wife ever takes the kids out in it.

I recently done a 2000mile round trip to South West France, Cruise set to 75mph most of the time(DSG), fully loaded with Wife and 2 kids (oldish kids), plus a boot full.

36.9mpg average, 450+ to the tank/s
