That was a damm thirsty car,you could park up and let it idle and the mpg would start to drop

on the subject of fuel, my digi display is showing a constant 200.00mpg ( will get some pics ) however ive put 45quid in my car this week and done 140miles and its about 10mins away from the refuel light coming on..no i really dont drive fast 40mph my average i would say with no outbrusts of led foot. i warm the car up for 4minutes before driving and leave it for 4 mins once ive stopped, one thing i have noticed is my temp gauge very often just sits around the 45° mark, when i test the blowers there as hot as if the car was 90°..now ive been told this may be a factor as the car may be over fueling to compensate?? does anyone agree? if so what would i change the gauge or a sensor im lost.

cheers

thermostat

As said, replace thermostat and temp sender, that should sort it.

sorry going to have to disagree a little unless i'm missing something 51.90 should have been divided buy 4.55 (1gallon=4.55 litres) to give 11.40 gallons so 315.4 divided buy 11.40 =27.66 mpg which is about what i average out of mine as i said please point out if i have just made a total c*ck of myself

 

The trip computers are good but they aren't aren't 100% accurate.
I brimmed my last tank with v-power which took 51.40 litres then when the petrol light came on i brimmed with tesco 99 which took 51.90 litres.

So i clocked 315.4 miles and used 51.90 litres

51.90/5.54=9.37 gallons

315.4/9.37= 33.7mpg 

My trip computer was reset at the time of fill up and after the 315.4 it read 31.9 (on mode 2) so you could all be getting even more than you realise 

Any hows i'm doing the same test again with the tesco 99 fuel to see which is best for my pocket and yes i am tighter than a submarine door

Why do you people run 2.0 golfs, the fuel consumption is just hidious lol, and you dont even get any power from driving it or fun for that matter.
