580 miles without filling up...

[NickP]

549 Miles with 15miles left to go is the best I've had, got a pic at home

Getting 510 as a anaverage now between fill up's

Not up to the 620miles I got out of my old Golf PD150 though

Ditto for me with my Leon PD150 used to reguarly get 600+

I normally manage around 500ish to 550 out of a tank

Wish we could vent the MkII which would help..

Have you recently had a service or oil change?

Far from it, the service message came up on the way home on about 18,400 miles.

Managed 580 once on my PD140 but I am sure I had a least half a litre left when I pulled into the forecourt. That was done all motorway driving with some nice A roads.
Been averaging about 550-560 miles per tank lately which is good

630 to a tank is the record in my Ecomotive.

Is that with spirited driving or normal day to day running?

What is spirited driving in an ecomotive?

Mmm Good point perhaps with the windows open!!!!

 

[robdf2]

get approx 370 here on a 1.6 stylance.......although the drop in petrol prices has reduced filling up from £57 to £43

blimey thats juicy compared to my cupra , get about 330 - 340 ish every time

It's still got 105PS so it's not that sluggish. I wasn't trying hard to get 630 out of a tank either - a combination of stop start traffic around London for a few hours and a couple of long motorway runs (circa 300miles).

I don't even bother filling her up to the brim any more - £15 a week seems to get me about quite happily...

Im pretty sure in a mag I read someone drove a Leon Eco from Spain to England, about 850 miles on 1 tank....

Anyone who takes the is just jealous m8!

We should raffle this for comic relief.
I wouldn't mind a lend of it as i'm a bit constipated at the moment and i have a feeling it may give some advice on how to losen my blockage.

yes they did , but it was not as simple as just driving it , they taped up all the gaps , same as they did for the top gear experiment.

I had one of the Ecomotives as a courtesy car last year.. There is no such thing as spirited driving in one!

Cheap to run no doubt, but I was glad to get back in my FR at the end of the day!

 

[Chan_P1_TDi_FR]

Without a DPF, the FR170 would give so much better economy. Just waiting for our test driver to see what the DPF delete conversion says about he CC/JBS mod.

2.5 Tanks Paderborn in Germany to doncaster (About 660miles) with a few top speed runs on the autobahn

Going to see how long I can make it last when i return to Germany end of April, the Euro highways are just loooong and boring!

This is okay for a diesel, I have been getting 42.5 MPG average on a full tank on my 230 BHP LCR. A mate with a preface lift LC got 60 MPG average with a 55L tank, this is a BT GT28RS car thats 320 BHP and torque. Its alot easier than you think and you get to your destination well chilled out, Classic FM was the key for me
