New to MK4's, MPG advise.

600 miles to £65 of the finest black stuff

Bloody 'ell Steve.......Which TDI do you have?  From what I know they do a 100, 130 and 150bhp versions?  Are the engines called 'PD'?

[Xtrhardcore]

Thnks he's got a GT TDI 150

That he does; well a 190ish bhp version anyway

...no mods yet either but get it remapped and I KNOW you can MINUS another 10MPG...do know if this is true though

190BHP and getting 600 miles from a tank......That is very impressive!!  The torque must be shocking.

I was about to say, you'll never see an extra 10mpg. Theoretically you'll see a slight increase if you drive in exactly the same way, realistically this will never happen.

I have read about this Dom......How if driven in the exact same manner after a re-map increase MPG......This has always confused me.

The theory is you dont have to push the car has hard to make the car go faster if that makes sence.

With 150bhp you have to push it harder to get to 70 for example than a remapped 1.8t

so in some ways i heard correctly? so confused now

Should be around the 300lbs ft mark possibly a little more

I'm getting 540ish out of my A3 with 205bhp and 320lbs ft

On a run fuel economy should improve as the engine is working more efficiently.  Your engine needs to be in good health though.  Any minor problems will be highlighted by a remap
