I've joined Fuelly and I'm not impressed with the results.

Now it doesn't calculate the mpg correctly. I contacted the admin/mods over a couple of problems and they that replied to some but not the incorrect calculations, its not rocket science to do the calculations. It shows 34.7 mpg average when the lowest as been 38.13 mpg and the highest was 43.27 mpg. I've added you can add 8 mpg on top of this.  :wink:

Who gives a **** how many miles a tank you get? I do a 60 mile a day commute and have never (and I mean NEVER) once regretted getting a GTi rather than a GTD.
There was one diesel in the queue for the quarter mile sprint at GTi International on Saturday (a Bora if I remember correctly) and that's the point where I knew I'd made the right decision buying the GTi!!!!!!
