see i dont mind if i averaged 28/32 thats fine for me lol
i will admit i am a youngish lad im 21 but im not a foot down type of guy i didnt even drive my scoob fast realy couldnt afford to go over 60mph lmao.
im buying one to keep for a while like 3-4 years so im making sure its as low miles as possible as low owners as possible and as much service history as possible.
im in college so i need somthing that is reliable and one that will last me il admit my mk4golf was a realy good car and the leon has the same sorta build quality so should be a great car
you got to admit the cupra r does look sexy lmao
Exactly what I get, however 14-18 when having a play. Still double than what your scooby would have been getting.

defo my scoob was doing 23mpg on motor way journy total miles was 120 there at 55-60mph in convoy with family. and thats all i got 23mpg lol
if i did short journeys id get 18 maby less tbh there realy bad give them a remap and a scoob will do 35mpg what my dads does since his mods and map.
are these leons worth mapping will they gain fuel once maped ?
When i borrow my mates scoob (05 wrx with mods+map) i can get it down to around 10/12mpg lol.
I have a stage one map on my LCR and its does more mpg and has more power.

35mpg + ... not a chance.
You can obtain it driving like Grandma on the motorway but for all types of driving they will average out 28-29mpg. (my own figure over 55,000 miles of use in my hands)
If worried about fuel economy then buy a diesel.
- No 200bhp + petrol turbo car is going to be fuel efficient.
I average 38mpg in my 1.8t Audi estate and it has a lot more weight and 4wd drivetrain to cope with. Thats over 12k miles so far this year.
Is that 200bhp + ?
You clearly drive like an old woman...
Yes, and every possibility. I mostly use it for work, and I'm never in a rush
It is possible though
Get a Cupra TDI or for the Cupra R look and FR+
nice example here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-SEAT...s_UK&hash=item2c68bddbd7&_uhb=1#ht_981wt_1271
Loads of torque 200BHP easily achieved and as you can see over 45 MPG \/

The later the reg like that 2006 one the more toys they seem to have eg Double din - Cruise Control
FR TDI returns 55mpg on a long motorway run and about 42-45 on commute (6 miles each way, stop-start). Car remapped to 175hp/300lb ft.
The trip computer readout was about 5mpg optimistic...

well the guy has messed me about abit i traveld up there for him to say i cannot test drive it as it has no insurance and has been sorn well instantly iv been put off id rather drive it so i know if its pulling a little ect vibration or even to make sure the turbo feel right.
so im looking at a normal cupra condition good very good so il have anose see what i can get that for lol

I drive at the limit 99% of the time and do a lot of town driving, ive got 35 mpg actual out of my last tank and with a few motorway runs close to 40mpg.
Do remember that if your driving means you get 20% less Mpg than stated, you also will in a diesel

Interesting read!
Car: 2004 Leon Cupra tdi 150
Before map:
- Sunday driving - up to 60mpg (according to computer)
- 60mph speed limit roads doing regular 2 hour journey (60mpg)
After map to 180bhp / 285 ftlbs
- Sunday driving - up to 62mpg
- 60 mph speed limit roads doing regular 2 hour journey (62mpg)
So Sunday driving and maintaining a good average cruising speed seems to show the same figures.
With a 0-60 time of under 8 seconds after map and a lovely hissy turbo soundtrack and this economy and nice surge of torque it would take a lot to convert me back to petrol!
