77.4MPG from a 5 mile journey.
From Bradford to Brighouse, mostly 30 or 40mph limits, 3 major junctions and 2 roundabouts.

58.3mpg no word of a lie
- Thread starter sssstew
- Start date
The best i've achieved is about 63 for a 160ish mile round trip. I did that trip 2 days in a row and achieved very similar results. that is traveling between 50-65mph.
On a whole, i got about 655 miles to the full tank. I did not enjoy putting nearly 83quid's worth of fuel in afterwards though!

No rope, I have pic on my phone too for proof.
TBH 77.4MPG from Bradford to Brighouse isn't that good, 80MPG is about right lol.
I've done just over half a tank now Lee and i'm on 330miles..........so defo defo was either the fuel (extra low sulfur crap - Craig Senior also posted about crap MPG on that stuff) or my fuel filter was knackered (dont see how on only 23k tohugh)
Last moth my diesel light would of been coming on is another 30miles time, onboard says i got another 180miles left.
I'm putting it down to a wrongly labelled fuel pump at my local Shell, either that or the Goverment is MAKING fuel companies trick customers into buying extra low sulfur crap so we are greener and need to fill even more often (really really wouldnt suprise me)

The only time I ever use a rope is when I try to hang myself with it! lol. Size tens and all.
If your going to kill yourself can I have your bikes? Oh and your house, and money, and wife, and goldfish.
I was going to have my name as 'Cyberdyne Systems Model 101' but it was too long

Work of the devil:
I obviously still have work to do to reach 70 mpg..................
700+ miles out of a tank though.
Chris, do you think the remap is helping or hindering the economy?

Tickle? More like caressing; it must be illegal what you've been doing to your throttle pedal!

I got 67.5 out of mine on a 40 min journey with changing speeds the other day....
Can't complain - would insert a pic but for some reason it won't work! Going Scotland in September - I live in the Midlands so I'm interested to see what MPG I get from her then.

you see these TDIs can get very good mpgs when driving lightly. Shame its going to soot up the EGR though.
yep true chris.
space - the low rev driving will end up clogging up the EGR system with soot in the long run, so if you are driving to save fuel then perhaps once a week or so go for a good hard drive to clear the system and get the vanes on the turbo working and free so they dont get sticky and cause that old problem,

Ah right, lol, thanks! I don't drive lightly all the time - had a pug up my arse this morning that was soon left behind but I must admit until/if diesel prices drop I'm having to drive more carefully than I would usually. I've heard also that hard driving when the engine's cold can knacker the turbo so I try to be nice in the mornings and when I first leave work....
