Cupra tdi mpg

[DIFT]

Hats off to you!! I dont posses any kind of patience to do that!

 

[vwpologti]

some people say that the revs need to be at peak for you to get best mpg.

i dont belive that at all! the best way to get better mpg is to keep the revs
down... iv tryed ways on geting the best mpg and lower revs say 1.5-1.7k
is easy the best way.

I agree, I find with revs higher consumption tends to be worse!

 

[Mr Cellotape]

I find you get the best MPG from changing at 2K rpm and riding the wave of torque, however as said elsewhere I get a bit bored with that after a while.

i find my mpg about 41/42 during the week but then i only have a 4 mile round trip to work
i like to stretch the legs on the derv at the weekends and find that the mpg sits at about 48. if i didnt rev right up to the speed limit im sure id get alot more mpg...

You might as well ride a bike to work

bet your car doesn't even get warm on the way to work.

i just go to the gym after work each night so dont bike ..... your right my car doesnt get warm on the way to work so have to drive sensibly. its warm driving back to work if i go out at lunch

Update

I drove around 150 miles on the motorway today at 80 and I got around 40mpg. I also kept the revs down when changing gear. As Far as i remember i have never seen above 400 miles to a tank!

id have expected higher 40's mpg cruising at around 2250-2500 rpms. ive never got above 400mpg for a tank too.... maybe if i had a pd100/130 then yes

 

[chillcupra]

I think i may drive to hard!

 

[vwpologti]

i wouldnt say driving at 80mph is hard!

i can drive at much faster speeds on motorway and get better mpg,
but then iv got a tdi sport ot a cupra!

but also mine is remaped to 160+bhp

 

[rashcupra]

is it really cool to be doing more than 80mph anyways? country roads then yes but motorways you destined to be pulled by an evo or scooby

maybe cupraPIP wanst driving hard on this occasion? no1 drives hard ALL the time!

no1 drives hard ALL the time!

with a 2.1 mile drive to work the engine is still cold - so im a grandad driver

 

[kriso]

My poor car barely wakes up in the mornings with a 1.4 mile trip to work. But then I am usually driving around during the day anyway.

I did a 200 mile trip from Southampton to Chesterfield in my Diesel FR and the computer said I'd got 78.5 mpg the fuel gage only went down by a quarter! However it did take me 3 1/2 hours sticking to 60 religiously all the way with no hold ups.

 

[rashcupra]

where you going to jbs?

 

[andydent]

Sadly No I was visiting some friends in Southampton, but you'll all be pleased to know that an unmapped 130PD is quicker than my mates mapped VX220 up hills!

You would never get pulled over on the motorway for doing 80, unless you were driving like an idiot.
