............I just wanted to show you all that its not all doom & gloom regards fuel consumption in a 16v GTi!!

It really does depends on how much lead you have in that right foot!

never had mine that good. on my usual journey mine would average 35-36. i then done a redex system clean (which i believe would be the first) and the same journey now averages 39mpg

mine sits mid 20's but i drive it like i stole it... when i do take it easy, mid 30's

 

[Krishen]

Did you get that sitting at about 60 in 5th? I got 40.2mpg once sitting behind a lorry on a country lane averaging 58mph.

Never got anywhere near that again lol.

 

[MarkJ]

I'd love to get near that in my 8v.

Would probably stretch a few more mpg if you reduced the weight of all that dust

Doing 50-65mph i often get 42mpg ish in my mk1 2.0 16v tolly. Just take it easy & change up quickly. p.s i also use redex cleaner or v power.

 

[kiearn]

Dont think its that sad really as most of us will now be watching how often we nail it because of the price of juice.

 

[Jib]

I think your right, haven't cleaned that interior for a while!

Got that whilst doing 30mph in 5th gear for about 10 mins just after i put £20 worth of Vpower in at 107.9p!

Pah!

LOL

 

[Jib]

Cheat! You must have changed it to the "instant" setting! Turn ignition on and hold it in and then turn it off?

 

[monkee]

f2 stu even had time to park up, put his handbrake on and capture that glorious moment! i am impressed!
