[nossi_20v]

oo forgot to say love the new car too damien best colour by far the grey, i fancy one next but i just cant part with the cupra yet haha

 

[wenman]

I usually get between 32 - 35 mpg on the daily run but I have got 45mpg before!

I got 39 today on my 27 mile journey to work. Think I woulda made 40 but I can't go the full journey without giving it some haha

Checked my trip computer and over the past 950 miles I have only managed 30.2 mpg average lol I'll blame that on me giving it more beans since it got mapped again properly!

MEEH!!! you don't buy petrol to brag about mpg though

 

[R1ch85]

MEEH!!! you don't buy petrol to brag about mpg though

Well no, but it's nice to know I can do good mpg if I have to Saves me buying a diesel in the future lol, so it was a worthwhile experiment

 

[mick-fr]

I don't want high mpg all the time, or I would have bought a diesel lol I just fancied seeing how high I could get it, as it will probably be the only time in the cars life that the average mpg reads over 50

Fair enough I sometimes wish I had got the 20vt but would cost too much in petrol for the miles I do

 

[.Phase]

but then if you did the same journey like a granny in a diesel you'd get about 70mpg

in other news; polo bluemotion got 89mpg on a test, 400 miles
new megane sport did 47mpg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best I have managed so far is 38 mpg. That was driving from oxford to kingslynn. Gave it a bit of stick for the first half of the journey, but when I got onto the m11 I just bimbled along at 60 and got the mpg up. I'm sure if i dorve like a girl thewhole way I could get the mpg up more.

On another note.....when your bimbling along like a old geezer......does any one else like to keep making their car "sneeze" lol. I always have to get some sneezes in from the dv. haha guess its just me being a geek as its my first turbo'd car and dv.

I don't know how to

 

[Chino_UK]

Don't know how you lot do it tbh, I get around 40mpg on a run, however, i drive to work every day thru town roads, I drive like a granny (as I'm half asleep usually), and get 31mpg around town. Beauty of it is I can easily, smoothly drive and change up at 1500rpm, as the stage 2 map is so torquey. Benefits of diesel without noise/smell/lack of revs lol

I do 400 miles a week easy, so no excuse

 

[Pete.]

[cupra.al]

this is pretty much what i said on the first page who cares about mpg anyway

 

[.Phase]

we bought our cars equivilent mileage and year to the TDi's but for about 1k cheaper!

 

[andreww]

If I want to fall asleep at the wheel on a 40mile trip that I regularly do, I can get 47.5mpg indicated..that's with a stage 1 map. My normal total average sits around 38mpg. I do use the power, just not all the time.

(Running on Tesco 99ron, seems good stuff to me!)

 

[ToleDan]

Difference is the TDI will do 40mpg at 90mph

hahaha

 

[pandamin]

I think it should be a rule if you get over 35mpg average over a full tank you should have a vagina

I have one and I still average 28 semi sensible!
