Title: How good is that !!!!
Post by: dixie180 on 04 November 2011, 15:10

Just travelled to Manchester city centre and back from Worcester.Set the trip computer before i left to gauge what sort of MPG i am getting on a run.Checked when i got back and was amazed the trip was reading avg speed 52mph and MPG 42.Round trip was about 220 miles and never got below 60mph on the motorway. :grin:.I put 55 quids worth of fuel in when tank was on red and i've still got half a tank left.Now thats what i call economy  :grin: :grin: :grin:.Oops,forgot to add i've got a Mk3 8v Gti with 120,000 on the clock.

That's awesome!!! Best I've done with the 20vt is coming back from edition38. Only used half tank and did around 270 miles. I was amazed! Doing 70-80mph on the motorway back.

Yep,was shocked myself.Car has been running great since i had a full service done locally by ex VW group mechanic who has his own little workshop.Defo would recommend this guy to anyone who is local to Worcester. :smug:
