Just recorded my A2's best ever MPG

[vwpologti]

so own up how much of a granny did you have to drive to get 450? and how much to refill in litres and price?

yeah i wana know this as im geting an audi s3 225 soon well maybe 8months lol

Drove it the same as I did the Leon. 70mph for 80 miles a day and 40 miles of twisties. My motorway cruise helps loads. If I arse it home I gain 10mins and lose 10mpg so I can't see the point.

vwpologti, maybe you should correct your sig to say "you can win but you're still a retard!"

 

[vwpologti]

my sig is fine thanks mate!

 

[AndyVTR]

Cost wise is obviously more than the Leon where I spent up to £60 a week. It has a 62L tank but I've not managed to get more than 59L in it. No venting on this where I managed to get 63L in the 55L Leon once. I'm also paying more for Tesco 99RON at the moment whilst I have a decent play.

I think once I've calmed down a bit it will cost me about £80 a week in fuel. I'd have a DERV coupe if someone did a nice one...

Just seems ironic with the incorrect grammar to me.

After a slight topical recess from posts 22 to 29 , I'd like to state how I think it's looking like I'm on for another good week of economy this week..

Fingers crossed. BTW Andy, rumour has it the new TT may have a diesel engine introduced shortly..

 

[AndyVTR]

Yeah I had heard that it was to be based on the PD170. I'd like an A3 PD170 Quattro or an A4 3.0TDi Q but they're just too much money.

Want at least 200 again as my Leon wasn't far off the TT.

They're producing the A5 with a 3.0 V6 TDI Write up in this months evo, they really like it!

Recorded my best motorway MPG today from parents to pompey.

Sitting at an indicated 75/6mph and GPS read 70/71mph on cruise the whole way home I managed 59mpg on the trip computer (so genuine ~54/55). This was with a bootload of stuff too! A few boots off roundabouts but generally maintaining constant speed. Raised my average (second trip computer) from 46.5 (lots of town driving recently ) to 49.9mpg.

Best I have achieved was 64.1mpg but due to traffic I was doing a max of 55mph on the cruise so I find that hard to count.

Andy does the streamline hair help achieve the good mpg in the TT

 

[AndyVTR]

Yeah the A5 is nice but again silly money. Only choice would be an A4 or 330cd.

It might have helped if I'd have bought the roadster!

BEATEN IT!

Last week I averaged 71.3 MPG

This week will be nowhere near as good as I've been driving around with bikes on the roof!
