Title: How many mpg are you getting?
Post by: tg1 on 29 June 2009, 08:19: Hi i'm getting about 24.6 mpg at the moment, granted i could try harder to improve this. And this is only with the airbox smoothed.

My question is how many mpg are you lot getting modded?

I know more fuel = more fun but more fuel also = angry wife

Post by: kdiz on 29 June 2009, 11:36: the 1.8 mk4 is supposidly ment to get

34.0 mpg

so if you minus about 5 or so mpg it will probably be the amount you can actually get if you drive ~~boring~~ carefully :smiley:.

Post by: dobber on 29 June 2009, 14:40: Well i drive 6.5 miles to work and 6.5 miles back. Start stop type of journey with about 1 mile cruising.
Last month i got 360 miles to a tank which worked out to 32 mpg.

mine is a 1.8T byt the way. This was with the odd poke of turbo, nothing extravagent but certainly not boring driving.

Title: Re: How many mpg are you getting?
Post by: Stronz on 30 June 2009, 09:47: On the daily commute, I am getting around 30-32 mpg.

If I go to the gym straight from work and miss all the rush hour traffic, I can crawl home without hitting traffic lights and traffic, so can get about 45mpg. Best I have ever had is about 49mpg.
Title: Re: How many mpg are you getting?
Post by: Dempsey on 30 June 2009, 23:59: i average around 30mpg :)
