How many mpg are you getting?
« on: 29 June 2009, 08:19 »
Hi i'm getting about 24.6 mpg at the moment, granted i could try harder to improve this. And this is only with the airbox smoothed.

My question is how many mpg are you lot getting modded?

I know more fuel = more fun but more fuel also = angry wife

the 1.8 mk4 is supposidly ment to get

34.0 mpg

so if you minus about 5 or so mpg it will probably be the amount you can actually get if you drive boring carefully  :smiley:.

Well i drive 6.5 miles to work and 6.5 miles back. Start stop type of journey with about 1 mile cruising.
Last month i got 360 miles to a tank which worked out to 32 mpg.

mine is a 1.8T byt the way. This was with the odd poke of turbo, nothing extravagent but certainly not boring driving.
