How to improve mpg?

[BigJase88]

When I had an ep3 I'd be lucky to get 300 miles to a tank but many smiles per miles

I used to get 230-240 miles with my fn2 rarely seen above 26mpg but i used it for what it was designed for

Totally agree.

It amuses me over the amount of discussion on fuel economy on golfgtiforum.co.uk, and it also seems to be a favourite discussion topic for many Polo GTI drivers over on uk-polos.net. I can understand it being the focus of attention if someone buys an fuel economy-focused car, but not with a performance car. One forum member on golfgtiforum.co.uk got quite annoyed when I suggested he’d bought the wrong car, and perhaps he’d have been better off with a Golf GTD rather than a GTI.

IMO, if you drive a performance car, life’s too short to worry about whether you’re getting 25mpg, 30mpg, 35mpg or some other mpg figure. When your car’s getting low on fuel, just fill it up, drive it and enjoy it! Just my opinion though, and there’ll no doubt be some with an opposing view.

Switching off stop start is also part of my normal engine starting routine.............

I used to get 26mpg in my FN2 but i didn’t mind it was made to get the neck wrung right out of it and that’s what i used it for.

i bought a house last year so didn’t want to spend that sort of cash on insurance / fuel / tax so i bought a 1.5 tsi leon. Good A to B car and frugal enough. I can get 400 miles to a tank now

Had my cupra 300 dsg for around a month now and my commute is 24 miles each way. It's a mixture of built up city area and 15 miles of a roads. I use the eco mode and get 38-41. That said when I have a play its considerably less

Cupra 280 with a manual box. Mine is averaging 34.5mpg driving 40 mile commute on a dual carriageway being sensible. On the driver display average for each journey it say between 37 and 39mpg.

I was looking at stats for a BMW X1 2.0 the other day.... for no reason other than curiosity. I was surprised to find that it’s combined MPG was a lot less on paper than the Cupra. And is a lot slower. So actually as mentioned above, the MPG on the Cupra isn’t actually half bad.

I bet other cars would be surprisingly bad on fuel too which you wouldn’t expect.

I've only done around 500 km with mine and I get about 35 mpg. Mainly short journeys to and from work with comfort mode and start/stop disabled, with the occasional cupra mode (mainly Saturdays-Sundays) to have some fun. Shell V-power racing 100 ron since day one. It's my daily but tbh I didn't get it to save on fuel.

Aye a few cars surprised me when I was looking before getting the Leon. My brother in law has the Volvo c4 t4 and eats a lot of petrol sure it was below 30mpg
