Even when you think you are driving sensibly you will still guzzle fuel. I always drive with the Trip computer showing my what MPG im doing. You will notice if u floor it that it drops down to 7MPG sometimes!!!!

Use the mpg on the trip & see if u can accelerate without it dropping below 25mpg!

I have got it down to 5mpg before :whistle:
 
Its probably the mods you have done, I would imagine the more power you have the more its gonna drink the fuel?

I average 40mpg on the motorway /duel carriageway by doing between 60-70mph

5th gear all the way

IIRC getting it remapped actually is better on Fuel Consumption although you are more likely to put your foot down so you end up using less :lol:
 
Ibizacupra - heres another way of thinking about it. When you fill your car up do you drive on that whole tank until its empty totally sensible?

When i fill my car up I drive senslibly most of the time but every now & then i get a little bit of lead in my right foot.

You pull up @ th traffic lights & a rude boy pulls up next to you wanting to show you what his chavved up Daewoo Matiz with neons can do? You smoke him dont you? :yes:

Those little incidents will bring your average consumption down even if you drive sensible 90% of the time!;)

I saw him drive into a Car Park sensibly but after that, well... :lol:
 
Just cos i'm 18 don't mean i rag the sh*t out of it all the time!!!!!! LOL!!!!

But i suppose i do drive fairly enthusiastically!!!!!

Oh well. I do fill my car upo, let it get to about 1/4 then fill it right up again. normally get around 220m out of a full tank tho.

Im getting around 260-270 on a full tank.

Oh BTW, Wernt having a dig at you mate, Fair play to you at 18 having a good car!;)

Im 22 & had to wait 5 years b4 I could get insured on one of these! Even the most sensible of drivers will have lead foot moments, I mean come on why else did we buy these cars?;)
 
TBH i do boot it a lot but when i've tried getting max mpg and cannot do it!!!

Cheers mate, i've wanted one since i was about 12!!!!! Paying stupid insurance but it's all fun!!!! Can't wait to mod it!!!!

Yep same here, I try to be sensible but I cant help it, The other night i was minding my own business when some kid in a 1.2 Clio pulled up next to me revving the nuts off his car, I tried to resist but couldnt help it, I had to show him whos boss![B)]

Unless your a real car bod people dont realise about the ibizas, its what makes them fun!

My "serious" mods will start next year, Ive only got the "sensible" mods on at the mo, Next up is Re-map & Forge FMIC.

Im impatient tho, I want it all done now!!! :D
 
Ive just added a 10er of BP Ultimate and its gone from 24.3 mpg to about 28.7 mpg just driving 2 miles down the dually. So its started to improve. What settings are you guys using on the sps3? Fuel? Timing and boost? Im looking to get a good mpg when driving normally.

To be honest I dont think you will get much better than that. I bought my SEAT knowing that fuel consumption was never gonna be great but really, Fuel consumption is not the reason we buy these cars otherwise we'd all be driving diesel corsas wouldnt we?

No matter how careful you drive your never gonna save a wad of cash on fuel by driving carefuly.

My advice :- Drive it how you enjoy driving it & :censored: the MPG! ;)

Its more fun knowing your car is damaging the ozone layer faster!:rifle:
 
To right mate, i fill it up when it needs it. But my mates laugh when i have to keep on filling up!!!! I laugh when i smoke em at every set of traffic lights!!!!!

Yeah there is no point having it if your not going to drive it to its potential (when in the right place of course)
 
Yeah i know!!! I brought a 1.8t for one reason!!! To drive it, and have fun!! And i know i do that so bugger the fuel consumption!!!

I never even bothered about MPG when i had my first Cupra, im not really that bothered now! it certainly didnt come into the equation when i got either of them

Its a quick car, its going to use LOADS of fuel ;)
