I dont see how people are getting 38 to 44. Right now im averaging 24mpg lol. I will get it to the 40's if im really trying to conserve fuel but otherwise its nowehere near it. Although I do live in start stop areas.

My mate gets called a granny cause he drives like a granny. Him driving fast is people driving normal.

Took him in a adventure ride in my car the other day and he said something along the lines of my car feeling more like a 2 litre than a 1.4.

I just know how to get the best out of the engine its expensive though

 

[RichieRich]

Drive a 2004 Ibiza Sport 1.4 4cyl 16v 100bhp.
Not to screw things up with the math, I use anywhere from 8-10 literes per 100 kilometes driven & do up to 600-750 kilometeres per full tank which after venting is usually right about 60 literes (running on 95 if that interested anyone)...
With 85k kilometeres on it the clutch has been slipping of late. Was wondering if anyone knows of any appropriate upgraded clutches I should consider?

math 1post +1post does not = better answer.

Anyway Im sure some peolpe have had clutches replaced on the 1.4, but why would you need it if the car is standard?

 

[RichieRich]

what Guinness? its a MPG tread not a clutch thread... but no point upgradein clutch unless ur going to add a turbo to it as other mods wont make any diff to the clutch..

1st I apologize if my clutch question got things off track. Next the double posting had somthing to do with the server had no intent of wasting time or space.
If some of the 1.4 100hp model wouldn't mind chiming in I'll create a new thread 4 my clutch question...

Here's the link to my clutch question: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1635817#post1635817 now back to fuel consumption...

Doing the math it looks like I'm only getting 24-29mpg while venting affords me the luxury of going 375-450miles a tank
