Mk2 Leon MPG (yawn :D)

What a strange outlook you have.... getting good mpg isn't about driving slowly. If he was eco driving a Cupra, he would be getting more than that?
I get 30 out of my FR which is no more economical. I don't hang about either.
Why is my mpg so **** lol I get a 28 average and I only give it the beans when I'm the only one in the car which is like once a week lol

No way. If I hoof it for half the journey and cruise for the rest I get around 23.
If I drive like a granny I get 28
A cupra wasn't bought to be drove like a fanny
So I stand by my original comment, that cupra is wasted on him.
EDIT, I understand that to get good mpg it's about not flooring it and that you can still do 70mph, but wtf is the point.

Whole heartedly agree!!
My tank average so far (90 miles) has JUST crept in to the 20's.... That's good for me
You guys need to find your throttle pedals
Throttle pedal for the weekend
Flooring it on the commute just means you get stuck behind someone else a little bit quicker lol

Absolutely. Driving harder on the busy commute is just pointless. Might as well take it steady and be smooth. Then when the road opens up, traffic dissipates and the speed cameras are behind you, you can really enjoy the car.

I don't think some of these freaks know what that is. Why buy a fast car if you aren't going to enjoy it lol, buy a stinky diesel instead
This is my first derv i like it but i still miss the noise and power delivery of a quick petrol engine, don't miss the £70 a week fuel bill though,lol
What kinda commute do you guys do? I'm doing 500mi /week + any social driving I do... that's why I have a fast diesel. It's better that than a slow diesel.
Not arguing with that mate, that's why I've had 2 FRs. Gone from doing 20k a year to 10k a year, so can afford to have some fun again
I do maybe 6k miles a year.... More this year as i've been back and fore to Birmingham Children's Hospital with the little one during recent months. I don't have a daily commute as such, work is less than a mile away and i start and finish before rush hour so never see traffic.
All my driving is 'spirited' and 'in anger' - hence the very poor MPG but big fun factor.
