Ah, but over how many miles?

I've seen loads of these pics taken just after the trip has been reset whilst rolling downhill.

I can usually average 65-70mpg now every day going to work the trip is 20 miles average speed 30-40 miles an hour this was over a little further & was reset last night after filling up. I would say defo not the norm though  :grin: as unless i am driving to work i tend to drive a bit faster then i am closer to averaging 50mpg  :cool:

I rule the roost on this Sad B&£^E*d topic!  :laugh:



Quite fancy another stab, now the temperatures have gone up, the above was over 28 mile route, mainly motorway doing Granny speeds.

Best I've seen in my Gtd is 39mpg  :cry: My chipped Bora PD150 would easily achieve 45.

Best I've had was a genuine 73 mpg on my work run (approx 30 miles), when I did it I also took pics of the other fuel computer readings ie miles covered, time etc and the miles are on all pics of course  :wink:

I picked up a new GT TDI DSG for the lads out on the road 3 weeks back and they are struggling to better 45 mpg at the mo but they are most defiantly not driving in a fuel friendly manner and they don't have a remap either.

Shall we have an MPG challenge?

Rules would be:

You must video the fuel computer from start to finish OR provide pics of all the data on comp 1 ie miles, time, ave speed etc?

Journey must be a reasonable length ie not 50 meters going down hill in  :grin:
