That sounds ok, it depends how you drive to be honest. I went for a blast with a couple of mates yesterday and averaged 19mpg over 40 miles, I travelled the same distance on the motorway earlier and averaged 36.

As dom says  :wink: my standard Agu averages anywhere from below 30 mpg to 35-38 mpg dependant on how i drive it  :wink: tbh i found with my old Aum after a stage 2 map etc that i got more mpg than standard so there's no excuse not to map a 1.8t  :whistle: :lipsrsealed: (mine will be getting the r-tech treatment eventually)

My AUM is averaging 36.8 but that is a lot of motorway miles at 70 or so. It would probably be 35 or less if I was more local.

The first culprit for poor economy is the temp sensor. About £10 to fix and you would get that back in no time if it is faulty.

40+ @ 80mph  :evil: :evil:

I know folks put tesco 99 in, but I think it gives poor mpg compared to vpower.

I was playing with my instant consumption on the motorway last night. Cruising at 70mph in 5th on a flat stretch returned 34mpg, 80mph saw 32mpg.
