I've been working in the Surrey Hills this week, so dumped all my gear in the van on Monday and took advantage of some cracking twisties for 3 days. Trouble is, I rather hoofed it all week (in a sensible, controlled manner, you understand) resulting in a 238 mile tank.
Anyone done worse (or better :evilgrin:) than that?
-
180miles to a tank on some spirited drives over a week and that was only on 95Ron, so I dread what I would've got with 99ron as it combusts easier lol
-
Mine will only do 4 laps of the ring to a tank, so empty in around 55 miles :laugh:
Also did a tank full in 160 miles whilst on the iom last year as I was taking full advantage of the lack of any speed limit, sunny weather and a mostly empty TT course :driver:
Saying that mine will only do 290-300 to a tank when the wife drives it to work anyway!

Ha! Good effort Nodz! 'Sprited drives' might be a slight understatement there! :signLOL:

That's insane :laugh:
At least when I read this I feel a little better knowing I own an oil burner. Even with fuel prices as they are I get just under 300 miles to £40.
-
Same here Matto!
I use a Bluemotion for the work run : £65 gives me 600 miles :wink: lol
I always fill when the needle is in the last quarter, so I should be able to get an easy 700-750 miles from a single tank! Lol

We did 2 laps of the TT course 5 years back in my mates M3 CSL, he drove the first lap and I drove the second :happy2:

Yeah was a bitter pill to swallow coming from a 2.0tdi previously! :laugh:
Even a full day at Oulton park does a tank and a half in and that's only around 170 miles :surprised:

Most I managed in my ED30 with V-Power on board is 390mpg, worst is 195mpg, didn't really help on a 644 mile round trip from Sussex to Penzance. Oh well, wasn't bought for fuel economy so can't complain!!
:happy2:
-
Glad to see everyone driving it as intended! If you want economy, buy something else, I say.

I managed 402 miles to a tank, on the return journey to Alton Towers, with 10 miles to go on the range... computer averaged 38.8 mpg :happy2:
That was the last time I ran a full tank!
-
depends what puts a bigger smile on your face: performance or economy, i know what i'll go for any day of the week :driver:
-
My best is around 320 and my worse is just under 200

You should be ashamed of yourself!

:scared: don't read some of my posts on these economy threads then. . . :grin:
FSI technology was used on the gti to increase fuel economy So VW did consider fuel economy when they designed the GTI. . . just saying :wink:
-
Least ive got is 200... average is probably 300-375 depending on conditions.

I think I may have deleted VW's efforts with the combination of the remap and my heavy right foot TBH Gray! :laugh:

105 miles off a brimmed full tank of 100ron fuel at the Nurburgring. I was between the gantry and bridge when I looked it said 5miles of fuel left and I still had to do all the GP short track to get back to the pitlane. Said 105 miles for the tank as I was filling her back up. :driver: Took 58 litres to brim it back up, so must have been stone cold empty :scared: 8.2mpg average.
Beddie, what the hell were you doing to manage 55 miles to a tank at the 'ring!!! :surprised: :laugh:
-
I can only manage 230-250 miles to a tank and that's taking it easy.
Is there a problem with mine as I've see some of you guys are getting average of 300 miles
My car is ko3 on stage 2+ R-tech map

Is that 230 miles Driving Miss Daisy or 230 miles "a la" Lewis Hamilton? if Miss Daisy then you might want to check PCV or coil packs. Your Map can also make a difference. No biggy though.

Pumping 100 Ron straight outta the exhaust by the sounds of it!
Done 6 trips in the golf and it's always been the same, uses a 1/4 tank per lap regular as clockwork and usually get the fuel bong around Pflanzgarten on lap 3, straight up nearly laid a log the first time it happened... :grin:
God knows why it's so bad on fuel on track, you can literally watch the gauge dropping.. :scared:

I was at the ring last weekend in an R32 and that used LESS than 1/4 tank a lap. The Astra VXR with us was using 1/4 tank a lap. Turbo cars = thirsty at the ring :sad1:

Some sterling efforts here chaps :signLOL: I'm obviously not trying hard enough! Gonna have to get my act together and get my brakes and suspension upgrades done so I can go on the next 'ring trip!
