I know, drove it like a nun from Manchester to Hemel Hempstead and back, had no choice to drive slowly the traffic was W4NK all the way up the M1 and M6.

just checked my nerdy excel spreadsheet. most ive managed is 333, in summer last year.
has anyone else noticed how fuel economy increases with the warmer weather? makes a massive difference, especially on shorter journeys.

Had 400 in the old R once on a slow run to London and back for work, But not managed over 300 yet in the Mk2 
Surely it should be worse as the engine performs better with the colder air. My R32 was noticeably more 'sluggish' when it was really hot a couple of summers ago.
Well it's a 55 litre tank and the light comes on at 7 litres (acording to the manual).
It's currently costing me about £55 to £58 to fill up with v-power by the time I get to the pump from the light coming on.

nope.
engine produces (an almost negligable amount of) more power with more dense air.
fuel economy increases as you dont have as cold a lump of metal to heat up.
I noticed my Fr was a little sluggish last night, 1st time I've driven it in hi teen temps......
temperature is irrelevant!
its air density that counts. it just so happens that warm air is less dense than cold.
i really doubt youd notice the difference.
Same prices im paying.
I would love to know how DanGB gets over 40 mpg, must have just reset the trip and rolled down a big hill
That was on a 220 mile run at 70
Bearing in mind I have 21K on the clock and a big turbo
I would have been
for that journey.On another note, did over 400 miles yesterday and still dident see another Cupra!!!
Only see one in 8000 miles
