the 8v will give a half decent mpg assuming u dont boot it all the time and let it warm up properly etc :)

unfortunatley as much as i love the mk2, my next car is going to be a mk4 ibiza

the pull of a tdi 130 on insurance group 8, giving 50+mpg and 0-60 in 9 sec is too strong

ah well,. I have a Mk2 'Cupra Sport GTi' (8v) and it costs me a smidge over £300 quid fully comp to insure, even with the missus ( see siggy for miss Daisy) on.. and seems Ive been booting up and down from Brum to Shrewsbury a lot lately Ive been avearaging abot 28 mpg.... (but its worth it for the grin factor ) :)

when using my 16v to work and back (70miles round trip) i average at 35 - 38 mpg using the 2nd trip thing and calculating it over a full tank!! (therefore several days) however as said above it can also get pretty low at the weekends!! lol

If you were interseted in the acceleration differences, there's a vid of my 8v vs a mates 16v at Santa Pod located in the Video section of the forum. Gives you a bit of a comparison up to 85mph ish
