How many miles does everyone else average on a tank of fuel? :smiley:
-
360 for me !!!!
300 if i am in manual and using paddles (dreaming i was jenson)
:wink:
-
Never fill my car, too much weight to carry around lol
Usually put in around £30 at a time, but i think i usually get around 40-50 miles per £10 of fuel.
I normally use Tesco 99, but recently started using VPower as i didnt realise it was now 99RON, thought it was still lower, but turns out that was Optimax and VPower was improved :)
-
Between 280 and 340 miles depending on lengths of journeys... Rubbish! :sad1:
-
260-270 miles on a £65.00 fill up
-
Around 340 miles on Shell Super. I'd say my typical week is probably 70% around town and 30% motorway, so i'm sure that figure could be improved.
-
I managed Doncaster to Penzance on a Full tank and still the light stayed off.I was,nt hanging about either...so thats 316miles.Before map I could,nt make Hayle.
-
540-550 being good
480 having fun
Im not in the petrol luxury club yet though!
-
Around 700-800 to a full tank, although I always refill to the brim once I get down to the last quarter mark, by which time I have at least 600 miles.
How, I hear you say??
Diesel :wink:
On a typical work run I get around 75mpg.
If I drive like Miss Daisy, I can get around 86mpg!
:signLOL:

220-240 :scared:

220-240 :scared:
BL**DY HELL!!!!!!!
I'm crying for you !
:sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:
-
220-240 :scared:
In my experience, thats about right for a stg2 - stg2+ car if your enjoying it. And why not enjoy it if youve paid for it.
-
On my commutes I can usually get between 320-360 from a tank. If I am enjoying the car I usually manage around 220 now I am in the Stage2+ Club.
-
i got 435miles to my tank :pomppomp: but that was sat at 80mph non stop pretty much

any at the time you were thinkin...."what the hell am i doing driving a GTI like this?" i bought it to give me a grin not put me to sleep!
-
180 :sad1:

180 :sad1:
you running major mods !
or a hole in your fuel tank !
-
Or enjoying it to its full potential.
20MPG is a realistic figure on a Stg2+ car if your properly using whats under the bonnet on the roads.
youve only got an 11 Gallon fuel tank. 220miles = simples.

i was thinking i paid £67 to fill this up and there isnt a chance in hell im stopping on a motorway services to fill up again!
There is a time and a place to drive it like you stole it, on a motorway is one of the most boring places to drive fast!
-
Before i get :fighting: i can drive the anni pd pretty hard and it doesnt drop below 35-39mpg, i'll easy see 400-420 from town driving.
-
The light comes on around the 340 mile mark, so I generally fill up a few miles after, just put £62 of Tesco 99 in, about 52 Litres it said.
On a DSG GTI.
Thats mostly just driving to work and back, fairly short journeys (35-40 miles a day round trip)
-
The soot chucker is fine for when i was doing more miles, but realistically only do 200 a week now... time for some :driver:
-
I get around 310 miles from a full tank until the light comes on.
That's 90% motorway miles, however they are fast motorway miles :wink:
-
240-280 depending on how i'm driving. Stage 2 + cars tend to suffer from a drink problem.....not that i'm complaining mind :evilgrin:
-
300ish, mostly motorway

full tank normally gets me about 270-280 with some drivin it like u stole it of course :evilgrin:
i dunno weva thats good or bad 2 b honest :signLOL:
-
Managed 270, enroute to Germany and I spent quite alot of time over 130mph (love the auotbahn!) so pretty happy with that! The Range Rover I had (RIP) used to do 320 on a full tank averaging 70-90mph but that thing used to swallow £140 of vpower in one sitting. :sick:
-
10 laps of the nurburgring emptied my tank when it was brimmed.
normally i get 280-300 around town, long journey 360 if im lucky

Not got a feckin clue mate, i can think for the life of me why a remap, HPFP, exhaust and intake has gained 8 mpg, not complaining though !
Its not like i drive it slow either, im always giving it jabs of throttle so i can hear the ITG.
anyway very happy with the ecomomy and performance now :party:
