Average MPG

[Big_Lad]

Is there actual any difference in quality between premium rate fuels from Shell or BP compared to the supermarker alternative?

I doubt it, altho there is 97,98 and 99 RON petrol form the dif suppliers, but I guess it all comes from the same place!

supposedly there is,ofcourse theres always the old rumour that some are 'diluted' so to speak

have to admit i have been impressed by some fuels over other...dont really favour optimax as much as i used to...quite like esso super...97ron at 99.9p locally and texacp high octane 97ron at 103.9p

I was under the impression the Supermarket stuff was crap petrol just with octane boosters in it to make up the RON..

With Optimax creeping 104 in places round here I'm thinking about risking it

interesting topic, and helpful too as im looking to get a cupra end of this year maybe, if not into next year.
SUL up in glasgow is 98.9 and 95.9 for normal at the moment, but that wnt last long

on my 1.4 i only manage about 37-40mpg.
being a student and being poor i always try not to floor it all the time, so its steady but its all town driving or back roads so its a bit more strenuous on the engine than sitting at 50 on the motorway.

I'm dubious of that trip computer anyway, especially if your motor is modified with 4 bar FPR etc. I see 45mpg average when going to work but if you actually work it out its more like 37 or there abouts, still pretty impressive i guess.

I also think that when modified and it comes on boost much earlier its easy to keep a steady mpg, although boot it a bit and kiss goodbye to economy !!

But as mentioned its a performance car, you want economy buy a soot chucker....

Oh by the way I put my motor into Revo "stock" mode the other day and it felt rediculously slow boosting to 7ish psi

I'm managing to average around 29mpg, which is pretty much stop start through Bristol, as well as having air con on now and then, although managed to average 41mpg on the motorway the other day! which I've never seen before

 

[acidstrato]

theres no shame in watching ya fuel bills...

if ya wanted a performance car...buy a ****ing ferrari and stop bitching like rich fags

 

[Smego]

what car and what is your average MPG

wondering after seeing a few adverts claiming 35mpg etc...

Averaged 28 then resetted it after 6 months then got 32 and thats with 5 mile queing and then 10 mile motorway in the rush hour traffic.

mmm not good i get around 200 miles to a tank due to medium runs and a heavyish right foot.

 

[strapper]

I've had mine at 42.4mpg sitting at 70mph on the mway going to stirling

 

[CupraTgirl]

I got 44.3mpg the other day and it was still creeping up
