petrol issues

[porter_89]

since i bought my mk4 gti-t i loved every minute of it drives lovley and feels great onlyproblem is that it seems to eat all the petrol in the tank lol i put £20 in few days ago and its all gone i aint driving mad changing at 2-3000rpm and cant work it out. only reason i ask as my mates got a aum mk4 with a remap front mount forge dv and induction kit and can go all week on £20 worth on fuel
i was just wondering does the remap give you better fuel eccomony or there something wrong with mine

cheers

remap will give slightly better economy. How many miles are you doing on the £20, it may not last you a week, but e.g. your mate could be doing 50 miles a week in his AUM, but you might be doing 50 miles a day, so obviously your going to get through more fuel than him. If your doing similar mileage, you should get it checked out. Use a fault code reader to see if anything comes up, if you want one, get a U280 or U281 off ebay and see what happens (y)

what mpg is the trip showing? should be around the 35 mark (or atleast thats what i seem to get)

yeah 20quids worth of fuel doesnt last me long. But i have a heavy right foot. Also depends what your running it on super or regular unleaded?
