My mk2 VR was doing around 25mpg average (28 with long runs). This was based over a whole tank, calculated using the old fashioned method!

A tank would go 230 miles approx.

Compared to our mk3 1.8 which gets 38 mpg and 380 miles to a tank

About 100 miles from £20 so that seem about right  :laugh:

To be fair that's not to bad   :smiley: just going to have to fight the urge of wanting plant the loud pedal all the time and after having an Eco friendly 1.6tdci focus for the last 2 years it might prove difficult lol
