yeah you could do that if you driver carefully :happy2:

i managed 495 miles once and i had to drive like miss daisy. backing off slightly up hills gaining extra speed down. Girlfriend fell asleep the whole way so i was playin this very boring game haha. Is achievable though :happy2:
-
I tried 'driving like miss daisy' a few weeks back, very boring!! I say for the extra £30 drive it like a gti!! :happy2:

If its going to be your last blast...go balls deep :driver: :signLOL:

I did 80 miles today and managed 42.5 mpg. But that was down small a and b roads. Its definitely not how a gti should be driven, however I do love the flexibility of the mpg that these engines allow. i didnt buy the car for its mpg that would be stupid but its definitely an added bonus when you do want to drive at a budget :laugh:

haha got to agree with adamf on this one :grin:

i managed 39.9 mpg and did 440 miles !! that was doing a constant 60 mph from manchester to cornwall. lost a miles to the end as it was more stop start town driving !! i reckon i could have hit 500 mile to the tank if it had been all motorway !!
-
40.3 over 11 miles! :driver:
-
9.3mpg at the Nurburgring :driver:
DEFINITELY the BEST mpg I ever did - not the highest, but definitely the best :evilgrin:

We drove from Cumbria to Kent last week and managed to get just about 400 miles out of the tank either way which was showing about 33-34mpg on the comp. Both ways due to road works and bad weather we spent a lot of time at no more that 50mph.
i was fairly happy with that as it included non m/way driving too.
Only had the car about 6wks so worrking on it!
-
I did Kent to York and back and averaged 34 mpg, approx 400 miles to a tank. However I think having a knackered PCV valve is giving me slightly reduced MPG, and lets just say on the way home the flow of traffic was well paced!
-
I drove from Derby to Crewe (53miles of A-Roads at around the speed limit) - Manged 44.2mpg :grin: and that was on Sainsburys 95RON unleaded :wink:
Now im running it on V-Power and can't get it above 40mpg.
-
. . . . Also drove from Crewe to Inverness (400miles) and averaged 42.6mpg - was still showing 85 miles remaining (again on 95RON fuel driving at around 70mph) :happy2:
-
Best i've had is about 57 mpg over a 100 mile trip, and 650 out of a tank on a road trip Edinburgh => Inverness => Edinburgh . Then again I do drive a diesel. :P
