I am getting pretty p!ssed off and jealous reading this thread.
If I get 220 miles from a full tank, I'll take on a mistress!
Fed up poking a nozzle into my gas pipe so often. :angry:

The reason why i have GTI looks with GTD economy. Otherwise I would be filling my car every three days.

+1 from me , the ed30 killed me off for petrol!! nearly 300 quid a month when I had that motor!! :shocked:

.. and here's me thinking of moving back to a R32 :laugh:

I would only fill up once a week most of the time... but seriously, what a pain!!  :sad:

I tell you, it's a pain. Filled Wolfgang again. £60+. :sick:
Five full tanks in 1140 miles! How bad is that? :angry:
Really, sick of this.
Should have got a diesel, any bloody diesel. :rolleyes:

I drive everyday through central London, 8 miles each way all in heavy stop/strat traffic. My average speed is approx 8-9 mph.
The lousy fuel economy is really getting to me now. At least it is better than the Type R I had. Small consolation.
I really should have got a Golf GTD DSG, BMW 3 Series Diesel or Mercedes C Class Diesel.
My ex's C Class 350 CDI Sport gives much, much better economy. I think I will start using it from now onwards. Only 2 problems: it's a bit big for parking at work and I hate the foot operated parking brake on it.
Therefore, I feel a bit stuffed! :rolleyes:
