Title: 115PD MPG
Post by: sveed1.8T on 16 March 2012, 19:16

Just drove back from London to Cambridge, totalling 77miles, general driving, little bit of over taking where needed, and pulled up on my parents drive to see that I had averaged 57.4MPG :smiley:

Now this is nowhere near my best, which was 64MPG on a 15mile journey, driving like a complete pussy, but I just can't stop but smile at the returns I get from it! :cool: Unless I drive like  a tw@, or only do a short 'city centre' journey, I never see an average less than 50MPG!! For an 11year old car, whose laughing, when you hear all these people buying 'Eco cars' for in excess of £20k for an MPG return of not that much more! :grin:

I will be looking to get it remapped in the future, as it's not got anything like the power my GTI has, but my advice to anyone looking at getting a PD, don't rule out the little beast! :wink:

I wouldn't worry, your MPG may be less, but so is the time it takes you to get up to 70mph!! :evil:
