Title: mpg for 20v

I have a mk3 golf and i was wondering what mpg can a 20v aum or agu achieve and does a remap give u more power and mpg

I average 28mpg which is fairly conservative mixed driving. On a good motorway run I'll see 33-35mpg, when having a blast or sitting in traffic in town it can be anywhere from 15-25mpg.

A remap does give you more power and can in theory provide slightly better mpg, however often it stays pretty much the same.

Varies on the car and driver, to work which is about 4 miles I average 32mpg and 25mpg on the way back (rushing home less traffic  :wink:), my journey consists of mostly 50mph then around half a mile of town driving, soon goes down when you press the loud pedal

The only thing that puts me off a mk4 is the looks (this means no offence to anyone) it dosent look as aggresive as the older golfs  but a mk4 with r32 bumpers or that anniversry front is nice there are alot of nice mk4s but why didnt any gti recieve different exteria it just looks the same as the lower models unless its modified

I got 41.1 on a 76mile trip around the little roads of Dorset...quite impressed if I'm honest, the car has 152k on it, 600miles since it's last oil, filter and spark plug change,
