About 24/25 round town, early 30's on a run.

If you boot it though the mpg gets a lot worse...

All depends on how its driven dan

[Carr20vt]

Never see over 220mls per tank in mine

 

[Plasmaman]

Hence the way you drive. Maybe you shoul get some lighter trainers?

why not walk then or cycle?

 

[bobphatboyphat]

Coz i live in Crewe and it bloody rains most days. plus no point having a car and having it sit outside the house.

I picked up my K1 last week and got around 30 MPG on the way down to essex.

If im careful I can get around 34 MPG

 

[dancupra]

what are people getting with remaped cupra's? they getting better than normal?

 

[Heff27]

I was getting 2 mpg better on the way back from P-Torque, but the car was on the first tank fuel, getting better all the time

This is still stupid talk, are you glancing down at your MFD and seeing that? So yo think that if you do a 10 mile journey and the mpg says 34.1 then thats what your getting? To me IMO it's completey irrelevent what the MFD says, the true consumption will always come from the range of the tank to it's size.

I have tested serveral full tanks. I used two whole tanks one after the other and never once drove the car fast or hard (very boring test but) and urban still only cam3 out at 24mpg over the whole tank!

i catorgorically do not beleive a Mk2 Cupra will do 30 to the gallon in urban/town driving.

I would like to test a full tank on a motorway driving to Scotland or something, 75mph all the way till the tank runs out.

Would be very interesting!

if this is true then your car is fooked.
i had an extremely spirited drive from holy island to newcastle and averged over 70mph (i know awaits ) before i hit the outskirts. bearing in mind the a1 is mostly single carraigeway up there you have to make hay while the sun shines, and i still made 27mpg.
if your cars not fooked, your crap at maths .

 

[Plasmaman]

Think your reading is worst than my maths, i said imo a cupra will not hit 30mpg for town/urban driving.

its all simple maths on the range of a full tank, not what the computer says.

 

[Pummy]

Town driving will kill the mpg, full stop. If you are lucky enough to have some swift A / B roads then you may get more mpg, but stop / start in towns or in congestion and you are screwed.

Previous car - Leon Reference Sport 2.0TDi with Areo Kit.

Mind you I am intriqued about the Areo Kit

 

[Plasmaman]

Ask away dude. its a new design, i failed English.

 

[MarkE]

Ask away dude.

I think it was a dig about your spelling of "aero"
