Title: MPG to make you consider switching to the dark side!
Post by: sveed1.8T on 04 June 2012, 19:49

Just had a cruise back from Hunstanton with the missus, averaging between 55-60mph due to traffic, n I was gobsmacked to see that from a 58mile journey, I averaged 63.1MPG!! :laugh: :evil:

Might not be as fun to drive a derv, but the money I save on fuel means extra money towards mods! :smug:

I can get 38-39 with the 1.8t driving to work at 5am with no traffic, hard task to do so and only done when close to payday after an expensive month  :grin:

I got 36mpg doing that in a Mk4 R32 once. It was like Clarkson driving that A8 to Scotland and back.

Wooton Warren (near Henley in Arden) to Hedge End on a careful run got me 50.8 mpg in my Mk3 GTI.

Over a 2,000 mile average I am still just over 40 mpg. A daily driver that also gets a 7 mile crawl to work and back (15 mph average).

The 16V boys might have more power but the little 8V is paying for itself... And my Mum's 306 D-Turbo probably wouldn't do much better.

I will stay on the light side thanks. (http://www.bandit127.com/oof_stuff/images/thumbs-up.gif)
