I'm loving my 16v right now. Just did a trip to Lyme Regis from Yeovil, and loved it, pulled really well and even average 37(ish) MPG. Got it upto 40 at one point.  :grin:

Most definitely not, that was with several power blasts at the most opportune times, and stop/starting at several locations.  :grin: Besides you Passrat is like the weights of King Kong, no surprise it does 30 or less.  :evil:

Even so, I proved 40mpg can be done in the barge.

 :grin: :grin: :grin:

If I booted it around everywhere I wouldn't be surprised to see it sit at the 17-21mpg mark, but a bit of sensible driving and a bit of fun combines to a good figure.

my barge does (on the mfa) 41 on an A-road, bit less on a motorway, 23 if i'm driving on :sick: :sick:
never actually measured the mpg but i only drive two or three times a week so its no biggie

without consulting the MK2 forum how easy is it to drop an ABF into a mk2? i'd love a mk2 but they are that bit too old unless i came across a really fast/special one...

anyone looking for specs should check http://carfolio.com/specifications/models/?man=6483 (http://carfolio.com/specifications/models/?man=6483) its the industry standard
