economy

Purchased a seat ibiza mk5 2009 1.4 petrol , I've read a mixture of opinions but excessive fuel consumption seems to be a common issue with these older generation engines, got to a point where I can't establish whether there is a serious issue that is causing this I am not aware of, maybe faulty...

Afternoon, I was just wondering what mpg people have managed out of theirs. I've just hit 42 MPG around town today and the car has 250 mile on the clock. Does anyone know if it will get better than this ?

As a newbie I went down to quik fit today and it turns out that although half the tred on my front tires is thick, in places it is now illegal... Is that just the lot of 130bhp engines, is it the fact that I don't like to use my brakes for corners or is it bad allignment? Half of my front right...

Just how accurate is the readout for fuel economy on these cars? I've just moved job where I now have a much longer drive and it's through Nottingham itself. I'm also in traffic all the way in each direction so no chance to gas it. I've been pleased to see an indicated 30mpg a few times, yet...

I understand that cold weather normally affects the performance and economy of most, if not all, diesel engines. I've noticed in my SC 1.6TDi I get 52MPG when it's a warm day (7oC I class as warm at the moment!), and I get around 46-47MPG when it's cold (-0.5 --> 0.5 like today). :blink: Is...

Hi folks, I've had a bit of search but I am desperate now for some advice. My Leon Cupra TDi has just managed 360 miles to tank. Just. I've just topped up wth 53 liters of derv and worked out that equates to about 30mpg. I do a lot of stop stat driving but this fuel issue has been...

What sort of mpg's is everyone getting on their remapped Ibizas? Ive got a remapped FR 2007. Everthing else standard. Averaging 28-30ish. I know I am only travelling to work and back most of the time and by the time I get there the car hasnt even properly warmed up. Think ive lost roughlt...

Hi, I have a 2003 1.4 TDI S Arosa and I was wondering what I should get out of a full tank, I can only get just over 300 miles out of a full tank city driving, is this normal as I was expecting more :(

I have had my car for 4 weeks!! I basically do motorway drivin and at moderate speed say 70mph!! However i dont even get 40 mpg!!!! I thought combined driving was 67 mpg and extra urban 76 or something like that What is wrong??? I mite as well have a petrol car!! Any1 else with...

I currently own a mountune focus st 260, its great fun, however 28 mpg is a little costly. That’s what the trip computer shows after 1500 miles. I’ve been looking at the lean 170 diesel as a replacement. I know the mpg question has been asked many times, however; I’m interested in the real...

If I get this: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=6958&xSec=339 (decat and large bore down pipe) will I see any improvement in fuel economy?

Everybody always talks about best fuel economy, but what is your worst fuel economy, and worst miles per tank. Mine is the one i have just done: about 330 miles...unsure of mpg, as computer resets it's self all time...

Hi I have a mk4 ibiza 100bhp tdi which has been remapped.I want to know what is the best way to get the best economy is?I know you may be thinking,if i wanted the best economy then why remap the car.Thing is want to mainly get the best economy like we all do and now and then have the extra...

I hear people going on all the time about how having the climate control / aircon on uses loads more fuel - I even know someone who won't even use it on his car because of that!! (cheap tw@t!). But - on my FR TDi I have honestly never noticed a drop when using it - I'd imagine if you had it...

Heya all just a quick post to see if any of you have come across this before Enginne Management light has come on (gettin it read on sunday to find out the fault code) I've noticed a slight drop in performance (slightly feels like a lack of boost but cant be 100%) but more noticeable...

Hi All, I'm new here - joined after buying an Alhambra. There's a lot of experience and know-how on here so I am hoping someone may be able to help with my puzzling problem. I bought a 130 TDI Alhambra to replace a 115 TDI VW Sharan. My puzzle is that the fuel consumption is about 10%...

Apologies for yet another economy thread, but hopefully with a little more detail than just 'whats your fuel economy?' I've just got a 1.9TDi and am not blown away by the economy. If I take it really easy I can get over 50 but that is on motorway cruises at 60mph most mornings. I've driven...

Hi chaps, wonder if anyone has any ideas on this one? My Toledo V5 mk2 (AGZ 150bhp) is struggling to return any kind respectable MPG, at the moment, driving like an angel on mixed roads it only manages 22-23mpg!! Give it a bit of a prod and it will easily dip to 18mpg. I had a Tolly a few...
