New to MK4's, MPG advise.

[Godzilla]

Hi

In the past 6-7 years of being on here I have had a good few MK2 GTI's, MK3 GTI's and VR6.

Looking at some MK4 GTI's now.  The 1.8 Turbo (150bhp) gets ok reviews but what about its MPG?  I do about 45-50 miles a day, this is A roads and town driving.  How much does it cost to fill a MK4 GTI Turbo up from empty and how many miles can you get to that, lets say average driving style.

Thanks in advance

£70, 280-300 miles. 70% town driving 30% motorway driving. But Im using v power at £1.40/L.

50 miles a day 4 days a week running AGU 195bhp stage 1 remap.

That costs me £40 mixed driving between town and 'A' roads 

Fill up is about £70 but I never drive normal with full tanks  so weekly £40 for me haha

Can get £74 in AUQ.
Pussy footing around being economical looking at 34mpg averaging 75 on motorway. Average 85 and down to 27mpg.
50/50 A and motorway gonna struggle to average 33 unless doing 60mph.

Thanks for fast replies.

So not that bad then.  My VR6 used to make me  at fill up times......200 miles to a tank!!  She was RR'd @ 184.8bhp so I was very happy till I took on a MK4 GTI thinking I was going to walk all over it.....He won, looked standard from outside but must have had a re-map or something?  I have been in a MK4 and they feel solid and fairly comfy.  Trouble is my daughter is now 14 and wants to be seen in something a bit flash so a Golf GTI MK4 seems a good choice as they look good, go well and fairly practical as I have an American Bulldog who needs a bit of boot space.

Yeah and if you get post 2001 you will already have a k03s turbo which a remap alone on a good standard car will achieve 210bhp quite easy.
Mk4's are getting way too cheap these days

My AUM costs me about 60-70 to fill her up, i got 318 miles out of my last tank and i do have a heavy foot at times, worst i have had is about 268 and i mainly do town driving. My misses lives about 20 miles from my house and i drove bk the other week (motorway) kept her at 60 all the way home (was just relaxing) and got 43MPG on my trip

Also to add tois my engine ant running right ether, changing my thermo and temp sender tonight and i also got the lovely 17705 error code

Just filled mine up from empty, £68 of Tescos finest 99 RON 

I get roughly 220 miles to a tank but that's all stop/start driving over here

I get around 27-28mpg day to day driving, this creeps up to just over 30 on the motorway and drops to the teens when driving spiritedly
