cold weather MPG

[JC]

well this morning i got about 1mpg

1 mile before the gallon of ale from last night was in real need to come out 

[AlanD]

my mpg to/from work is usually 37ish

but at the mo im only getting 32-34 in the journey

Shut up and stop moaning then :D

lol naaa not really

my mpg to/from work is usually 37ish

but at the mo im only getting 32-34 in the journey

must be the cold weather im hoping

I wish I was getting that. My girlfriends Golf Driver is horrific on petrol, must be 22-25 (not that much better than my Saph') Its also worse than my GTI 16v which on average is 28-30. My Saph Cossie, well im getting around 18mpg at the mo'

Im sure there is. Its terrible. If I take it easy in my 321bhp Cossie I can almost match my girlfriends Golf 1.6 Driver for petrol......i have honestly never known a car to be so terrible on petrol. Checked for petrol leaks, nothing. Im sure its the famous Pierburg carb drinking as much petrol as it can just to pi$$ me off! Im using it daily at the mo' as my Golf GTI valver is getting some engine work done in the garage and using my Cossie in this weather is a huge NO!

[AlanD]

lol Yeah, there is something not good with that driver.

emm yea, I think its the driver and not the Driver, meaning your missus. While using it as your daily runner what mpg do you get as opposed to her? Could be her revving the fcuk out of it and running in 3rd doing 50mph.

Its more tham likely the peirburg thats causing the pants fuel economy on the driver ! I swapped to a webber expecting worse economy and tbh it near enough halved the fuel consumption !

Those carbs are sh!te m8 )

Just my thought on it

[jammac]

now the freezing weather has gone my mpg has returned to normal!

goody gum drops

Thats what ive been told mate. The Pierburg carb is to blame. I drive it like Miss Daisy and it still drinks the petrol. I put £7 in the other day, it got me about 30 miles  The best ive had from my Cossie is 77 miles to £10 before the light comes on, not that bad for a 160mph car
