tdi mpg

[b21playa]

last tankfull i averaged 40mpg locally and about 70miles of motorway.

what does everyone else get?

is mine low, if so what can be causing this?

 

[vwpologti]

this is what i got today on a 270mile round trip in a ibiza tdi sport remaped
to 160bhp

 

[vwpologti]

then again i was doing 60-70mph all the way there and back.

i put £30 in the car when red light come on did the 270miles and as you can see still had over half a tank left

 

[b21playa]

thats very good.

I wanna clean my egr and stuff - see if it makes a difference

I'd love to get 40mpg average. My tiptronic bammer guzzles fuel. about 25 in town and motorways between 70-80 mph is around 36mpg. It does weigh more than 2 ton so i suppose i shouldnt complain lol. my old r reg bammer got 45mpg average on decent runs but that was a manual so i may have to trade in again. Does anyone know why co2 levels on autos is much higher than manuals cos i just got tax renewal ands its £195 for mine but much cheaper if i had 2.0tdi and mines is 1.9tdi?

i've had my car since wednesday, never had a journey below 45mpg.
my MFA2 is reading 52mpg average over the 350ish miles i've done since wednesday. i can easily hit 50mpg in town roads and high 50's out of town
on half tank of diesel i have covered 280miles so not too bad, im still loving the turbo pull so its been getting a bit of a play

I've had mine about 5 weeks now and on the trip 2 mog, it's showing as 38.6mpg... I have been booting it almost everywhere though! On trip 1 I've seen near 55mpg though (70-90mph).

since having mine i havent really managed to do a tank on all round driving, but should find out this week. car is going down to london and back

I normally get 550 miles out of my tank, also if you look at the other thread you will see more

you are all very lucky i get 280 miles to a tank my car does go well but would there be anything that would bring the mpg down. i do have a heavy right foot but even when driving easy its still doesnt really deliver good mpg . seems to use the same amount of fuel wether i drive hard or easy.

 

[vwpologti]

not sure mate,but that dont sound to good!

on the £30 iv now done 350miles and the last 80miles iv been
giving it some like close to redline and its now on 1/4 of a tank
saying i have 90miles left. thats off £30 i couldnt be more happy!

440 miles off £30?

 

[vwpologti]

thats what the computer is saying! i will easy get 400 but dont forget
270miles was motorway and driving at 60-70mph.

oh ok

my figures are all from tank fillings, no on-board computer on mine.

plus when im on my mway, too hard for me to do 60mph

hopefully get cruise fitted over the summer

 

[vwpologti]

trust me it was mega mega hard to stick to 60mph but was worth it.

cant see my next £30 lasting that long lol

 

[jamesy]

380is miles so far, 1/4 tank remain from £40 and about 150 miles i think the computer said, might be a bit less
hit 65.4mpg today on a 42 mile run, i was chuffed its the most mpg i ever seen

 

[b21playa]

my engine does sound tappety, wonder if this has anything to do with my mpg?

b12 - if your getting 40mpg and its mainly town driving i would say that sounds fine. TDis gets their best economy on long runs, Motorways and a roads. Take it for a long trip (ie 250 miles to devon or the like) then see what you get. Im sure it will be fine.

 

[vwpologti]

i dont think 40mpg sounds that good as if i take it easy round town i can easy
hit 50mpg!

well the old man's taken the car yesterday to London and will be back today (~300miles).


i'll see how much of the tank has been used, and then when i next fill up, i can work out the exact mpg
