I get 280 - 290 miles from about that much, and I drive like a nutter. Compared to a mk3 8v my car has almost double the power and weighs a fair bit more too, I think you may have some fuelling issues there matey :wink:

umm you have a 60 litre tank toph :S we only have 52 litre tanks in our beloved mk2's

but i did newark meet in october i filled up before i left and it was 175 to newark and 150 back.(we missed the turn off and went past it :S) plus i drove around for a couple days before filling but norhing major just shops and back but it was on that red line got another maybe 20-30 miles out of it, when i filled up i put ?38 or optimax in at 85.5p. that equals about 44litres so i still have another 8 to go not that i wanted to risk driving on it a bit longer but that red mark is anoying cause you still have like 20 litres left when you hit it which is almost a third of a tank :S

1. To make or emit a quick succession of short percussive sounds.
2. Not anymore - Now rumbling

Costs me about ?30-?35 to fill up my mk3 when very low....reckon ?42  would get me about 330 miles (think thats what I spend a week going to and from work and thats 70 miles ish a day). Thats on a mixture of back roads, dual carriageway doing about 70 (as I pay for fuel!!) and then far too long stuck in town centre queues. MFA can read anywhere from 29mpg to 36mpg on a 35 mile run.
