What is your MPG record?
« on: November 24, 2011, 03:58:45 pm »
After having my injectors replaced I have seen a miraculous improvement in MPG, this combined with me driving like a 60 year old Nun has given me a new record MPG in this car :


This is for a 35 mile journey - mostly motorway. :laugh:

Which got me thinking....what are other people's records (please submit pictoral evidence of your record  :innocent:)
I know the computer may not be all that accurate, so I will calculate my 10 day average MPG on Saturday when I fill up. :happy2:

So....whats your best?

I picked up my Edition 30 last night and averaged 34MPG on the way home, this was sitting at 70mph most of the way on cruise!

Having owned diesel cars for the past few years, its a big shock to me! Lol.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I have the exact same problem. Managed 36.2mpg on the motorway when i picked my ED30 up last week, nothing compared with the 60+mpg i used to get from my remapped Fabia Vrs tdi. Oh well, its all good fun :-)
