i know petrol prices are sky high at the moment, but do you think this is about right,
i bought myself a 1.8t yesturday, i put £30 fuel in, and have done 70 miles, just short journeys to and from school ,town ect
i have put my foot down a few times but i wouldent say i have booted it, just pickin up fast to about 40ish
before this i had a 1.4 that hardly used fuel, infact £30 would of last me a week, but obviously i dident put me foot down in that lol
so does 70 miles for £30 sound about right for a 1.8t?
-
Yep, if anything thats about 6 miles too many :grin:
-
Do a search mate, lots of posts about fuel usage. i use £70 on a 300 mile run, but then im not suprised the way i drive :evil:
Does sound a bit lean, get her serviced etc and see how she goes from there
-
Mmmm, they can easily stay in the 20s to the gallon if it's only around town.
-
I do short journeys/city driving and in my agu (which I believe has the poorest economy of the 1.8ts) filling up is about £70 I guess and get about 220 miles. Have you scanned it for any fault codes? Although I guess even that may not highlight the issue.
I've never seen 30+mpg on my display.... (usually low 20's)
-
The thing is, you get sod all petrol for £30 when its £1.40 a litre.......... :sick:
Just realised i do 64 ish to £20 so 80 something to £30................ Could be your MAF?

i havent scanned it no, i got the car yesturday , and i thought if there was any faults, a light would be on the dash.
im gunna fill her up again tomorrow, and drive it as normal as possible, and see if that helps.

Unfortunatly i have a in10 conviction and a lc20, i got them in 2009, but i have only been passed a year.
im only a named driver on the policy too, the better half is the policy holder.

thats really good, considering the prices of petrol aswell.
-
I get about between 100-110 miles to 20 quid mainly driving around town but I am driving like a complete girl at the moment lol, if I have fun it soon goes down.
-
Dont look in the Tdi section :lipsrsealed:
Mines back up to 42 town and 61 motorway with a 69 best :cool:
-
For £30 I think your getting around 22 litres or so.... of normal unleaded.
I can get 180-200 miles to £30 just now, that's about 60% motorway 20% A and B road driving 20% town driving with a good few blasts.... Cant really get under 150 miles to £30 :undecided: And mine is a AGU if that makes any difference? :laugh:
Works out between 37-40 ish MPG. Yours works out about 14-15 MPG :laugh: would get your car checked out, something cant be right... :sad:
-
for 30 quid with petrol a 1.34 round here i get at least 140 mile of round the town driving! but thats my lass driving mostly so it gets driven sensibly
