Does depends on alot of variables - not least how it's driven but also the condition of the engine; given that these engines are over 15 years old now.

This was a 600 mile round journey 60-70 mph on the way there and 60mph on the return journey, using ~55L of petrol on a 20vt, I could of managed better if I hadn't encountered rush hour traffic.

The engine is in very good condition though and has been completely rebuilt - head and bottom end. It has more or less completely bedded in now and the car itself weighs in at 1100 kg (+/-20kg)

Remap can help MPG figures.

38-40 on a run is possible, 7mpg on track, everything else is somewhere in between :P

Long term average on my 220bhp AUM daily driver used to be 27mpg

I get between 240-280 out of a tank and thats with 1x lambda sensor shot!

Post by: dasan on 26 October 2012, 17:39
Around 350 a tank. Its the fuel cost thats a killer between £65 and £70 from empty to fill.
20p a mile so every day 60 to 100 its close to £20 a day..

Also about a mile to work for me!! Once the evap system is removed ill use unisettings and change it so it doesn't pump extra fuel on cold start up  :wink: ........ Unless that's not clever  :embarrassed:

According to the trip computer on my motor i average around 35mpg and that on a 12 mile trip to work and back so i do around 25 miles a day. If i go to london to see my relatives, i see 40+ and the only mod is a panel filter.

Doesn't help it, but doesn't affect it either.

i got 291 on half a tank, and then about 500 odd at the next half tank fill up, bearing in mind this was a trip up to north scotland piks to follow for you non believers  :cool:

Post by: rockmonkey69 on 31 October 2012, 16:58
I wouldn't think there is anything not to believe, I managed over 600 miles on 55L of petrol. My trip computer was reading over 47mpg average which if anything is under reading.

You can calibrate the trip computer using Vagcom.

So far I've seen an average of 30MPG which has been a mixture of motorway and around town driving.

I've only opened it up a few times and mostly been trying to drive steady.

I have the Stage 1 remap and a panel filter (AGU)
