Something for you diesel drivers....

[Stevoz03]

Well a picture says a thousand words so here it is....

It's not a fake photo or a joke, I genuinly managed to acheive 52.6mpg in my Cupra tonight It doesn't have a stage 1 map to aid consumption or anything, I was just driving along, looked at the mpg and there it was. I must admit this is the first time I have got this and is a one off, as my best mpg before this was only 45.1

Just thought I'd share

I don't think I've even seen that much in my sport!

 

[sportbilly]

WOW! I was tempted to swap to a Cupra as a town runabout but then I though the MPG will probably not be that great afterall - but as it could reach those figures maybe it could be better.

If your hooning it round town (not literally but in and out of traffic ona 10mile trip) what do you get then?

 

[Stevoz03]

I am just as shocked as you are lol!

I usually get low 30's town driving or if traffic is really bad it can creep into high 20's, which isn't great really but then it is possible to get them in the 50's.

 

[sportbilly]

low 30's town from a petrol is pretty good IMO

I've seen 71.3mpg from my TDI so I'm not worried yet however the 2nd average (the longer term one) is currently at 55mpg so to see something close from a Cupra even if only for 1 trip is very impressive.

 

[FR_POWER]

yeah i got 50mpg before but that was cause i was driving so slow and having the revs at just 2,000rpm

 

[jc_boc]

Very impressive mate! I struggle to get good mpg but I don't muck abot in the car either hehehehehhee. Town driving mostly and as you can see, avg high 20's. Got her up to 43mpg the other day though on a nice country drive.

 

[craigmk6]

ive been moaning about my 1.6tdi sport and at the moment since friday i have got 46mpg average and thats not bad for my car lol

 

[gaffer1986]

I've had 72mpg a few times from my 1.6 TDI CR on a steady 20 mile run. My learner pupils get anywhere from 43 - 55 mpg depending on the type of lesson. (more often about 45mpg)

Even if I drive it hard I seem to get 50 mpg out of it so very I'm pleased with my economy especially as most my driving is Urban stop start.

 

[Biker]

I filled mine up last night then worked out what it had done. I got 58.3 mpg for 502 miles of urban driving. I am pleased with that.

 

[Stevoz03]

Maybe not enough to worry you diesel driver's but I thought it could be close Still haven't managed to get single figures yet

 

[adamb87]

I got single figures...... on my instant consumption lol. usually pushing 6o over a tank. highest about 70 on a 30 mile run.

Have you just had it serviced or something, i'm thinking some newish ECU update?

I'm usually arounf the mid 30's but have seen it 44 ish on a A road about 40 - 50 mph

 

[Edward101]

Wow thats good going mate best I have had is 46mpg but at the moment I average around 38-40mpg which isnt too bad.

 

[CDNY18]

i think i won

but that was no fun 10 mins later .....

 

[Stevoz03]

60??? Im impressed mate you win hands down hehe. Now thats enough to scare a few dervs thats for sure

I would be more impressed if they were trip 2 figures rather than trip 1 figures.

In the Mk 4 you could get the trip 1 showing over 150mpg if you reset it whilst coasting - haha

 

[lefkon]

In my fr the lowest i had was 6.2 L per 100 km in trip 2 with full tank and about 150km after refuel... I dont know how much mpg this is but i bet its low... Hehehe...

 

[JonIbizaSC]

I managed to get 45.1mpg last night on a 30mile round trip in my SC. Pretty happy with that as its only done 500miles
