Miles from a tank - GTi or GTD
« on: 14 December 2009, 16:58 »
Hi Guys,

Just curious what kind of mileage you are getting from a full tank of fuel and what brand you are using?

Thanks

I dont have the GTD as yet but drive a similar car in the A3 DSG 170 deisel which has the same engine and usually get 550 - 570 miles from each 50ltr fill up from Shell; this works out about 48mpg.

If you are that bothered about fuel consumption, a GTI isn't for you.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

GTi - 400 plus miles of all urban driving. Very pleased with that.

Always use 99 RON fuel from Shell, Tesco or BP

I have the 140bhp with that little extra added the fuel consumption is around 49mpg which is better that I got with the Astra 150bhp.

I do both motorway and urban driving and covered 1200 miles with the 49mpg.....

Just curious that's all. Need some info to keep me occupied as the wait is such a long time. Having just sold my R32, i don't think fuel is much of an issue for me.  :smiley:

Are you sure? On a 12 gallon tank 1200 miles is 100mpg!
