just been down to Tesco and picked up a bottle of Redex Fuel System cleaner and my MPG has gone from <20 round town & around 25 on motorway to 26 & 38 respectively! And that difference was seen in 6miles of sticking it in ma tank!! Plus my Computer is also quicker at reacting to changes in Average MPG!!  :laugh:


Hope this Helps guys.... Was the best £4 i ever spent!  :cool:

Hi guys,

I owned a petrol 2.0l dare I say it so i'll whisper (gti) or in euro terms 2.0l highline.....anyhoow.......in that i was averaging 24/28mpg on a daily commute of 15mile in total.  Drove up to glasgow from manchester and used a tank getting there and filled up in scotland and back down to manchester and I was left with a qtr of a tank.  Poor fuel consumption overall, 30mpg max even on motorway.  Now got a GT TDi 1.9 190 remap and I get 35/40mpg on the daily commute and drove down to London and back on a tank with a good 3 gallon left average of 55mpg  and I get about 400 mile on a tank if its all traffic roads but can get more than that i reckon if you were to travel distance on motorways.  As sson as I get on a motorway a go up to about 50/60mpg depending on traffic obviously........

Optimists think the glass is half full. Pessimists think the glass is half empty. Realists know that someone will have to wash the glass.
