mpg

Just for your amusement. I've got a bog standard W (2000) 1.4 S/.cool ibiza which has now done 82,500 miles. No modifications. Decided to calculate MPG this week. Put 52 litres in during the week which got me 550 miles. I drive Walsall to Nottingham every day ... 1st half a mile is...

Hi im new here and looking into gettin a brand new ibiza fr tdi. Just wondering if they have a digital computer for calculating mpg, how many miles left in the tank is left?

Hello this has probably been discussed millions of times. but I drove my mates 55 Plate VW GOLF PLUS 1.9 TDi yesterday from Cardiff to Sheffield and back and was amazed to see it averaging 58MPG I reset it once and it was averaging 63 MPG but after being stuck on the M5 in the rain for...

getting around 220 miles to a tank mixed driving. Changed Lambda and MAF and getting no errors on vag com, had a search and some people said they got better mpg after replacing the coil packs? any ideas would be great Cheers :) ps just before anyone says anything, the above is if i drive...

Hey peeps, Not to jinx myself by posting this (i hope) but just recently I've been seeing something I can't explain. Usually, I'd be lucky to see around 330-350 miles to a tank of petrol. Over the last month or so, I am now getting around 370-400 miles to a tank!!!! Another thing - I...

I could not belive that I got 365 miles out of 1 tank of Tesco 99 And we where not going that slow either Has anyone else got this sort of miles before?

Yo guys,would love to hear from cupra owners and your opinions on the true mpg that the cupra is giving out!!!im collecting mine in less than 2 weeks and its the only question that i havnt got a clear answer to!!!cheers

I Have A 1997 1ltr MPI and am gettin around 30 MPG and a think this sound low. what do you guys get and if 30 miles is low and 1 no what could be coursing it ? Steve

Last week myself and my better half took a trip from Lincolnshire up to Newcastle. The milage was 143miles there and as we took the same route home a couple of days later, it was a round trip of just under 290miles. We used both motorway (A1) and other 'A' class roads. I drove there and as...

Was in England/Wales for two weeks, driving on some very good roads and managed to achieve 63.7mpg overall. (motorways, A roads & B roads mixture, more of the first two tho) I think for my car this is excellent, and was showing an average of 550-600 miles to a tank (BP Diesel). I know not to...

the 215 width yokohama's i've got on now have taken me from ~45 mpg, to 41.5 the wheel as well probably affects this, but has anyone got experiences of different makes of tyres/width and their figures? when they need replacing i may well go for the GDS3's at 205/40, but wondered if anyone...

I was quite stunned at just how good my MPG has been over the past week, over 431 miles I averaged 69.83MPG (calculated - see here for weekly figures). The interesting thing to take away from this is what was different this week to all those since the start of the year.. Because of the good...

i was thinking....the bloke before me had a body kit put on, there is basically a shelf going underneath the front all the way across (ie..a body kit :)) i guess this almost acts like a 'scoop' which picks up air at the lower front, rather than letting the air slide underneath the car...

has gone from 45, to 41, i got them installed only saturday f%&k. is the pd160+green cotton likely to put this back up a bit? or is this purely due to larger wheels and wider tyres? in which case i need a re think! any other suggestions !?

Hi there guys i may be going to pic up a cupra this weekend, out of curiosity roughly what mpg do you get? Please give your MPG Modifications How you drive it This is an important issue and could determine weather or not i will buy the car because i travel quite far to work everyday...

last week sunday, filled up new car which is seat ibiza 1.9 tdi fr put 36 pound in which was full tank, have so far done 340 miles and got about 65 left according to computer, so 420 miles all in off 36 pound which was a combination of road driving, around town, country roads and motorway...

Hi been having problems with mpg, getting low 20s at best and thats with driving like grandad. Vagcom'd the car a few days ago and it came up with 16501 - Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor (G62): Signal too Low P0117 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent So i replaced it. The cars still...

On a 150 mile trip on the motorway I struggled to get over 40mpg. I was doing between 80-90. By the end of the journey the computer recorded an average of 40.1mpg. I have never really seen above 45mpg even sitting for ages at 70. Its got a remap and full milltek. Do you guys go by the...

i thought it might be interesting to find out how many miles others are getting to a tank. its costing me £40 to brim the tank each time and the most i've squeezed out of it is 280 miles. the car is telling me i'm getting about 26mpg.

A few weeks ago, I swapped my spark plugs (regular Denso variant) to the Iridiums. Changed all the coils as well. Since that has been done my mpg has increased by quite a margin. I expected it to be slightly better but this goes way beyond that. I used to get 160 miles out of half a tank...
