1.8t mpg info please?
« on: 01 January 2008, 16:22 »
hiya, what are you getting mpg wise in your 1.8 turbos please?

i was after a diesel for the economy, but i was wondering what the difference would be in fuel costs to me each week.

i do around 200 mile per week, and in a diesel i reckon it would cost me £20 ish? per week?

so roughly what does it cost in a 1.8t for 200 mile.

any info is appreciated, happy new year !!!!!!!!

I had one of these engines, although it was in an Alhambra  :laugh: with a tiptronic  :laugh: and driving like miss daisy(60mph) was lucky to get 30mpg, around town got about 22.5 mpg, 20quid of petrol gave me about 135 miles, but they were fun miles!!!! What a great engine! Couldn't believe it when got up one morning and it was gone, police never found it, bet the engine sits nicely in whatever it was took for!!! B'ards beat me to it, always thought about rolling it and buying back off insurance to shove in my FAB!
 :nerd: Get a Deisel!!!! If you want economy,  :laugh: get a 1.8T if you want fun  :laugh:

When I fitted my induction kit, I got 16mpg and used half a tank of petrol to do about 100 miles if that!  :shocked:
