Practical Classic magazine
« on: 24 February 2011, 17:22 »
Whilst shopping in Tesco I did the customary thing of having a browse through PC.

*Looks wistfully into the distance fantasising about having a massive garage and lots of shiny new tools*

The current issue has a MK2 Golf buying guide.  Whilst not the most comprehensive write up one could imagine, I was shocked to read that they recon the 16v does 41 MPG and the 8v 42 MPG.

 :grin:

Go figure!

The biggest obstacle in getting good MPG figures is that they feel better the more you press the right pedal.
My MFA says I get 42mpg down the motorway but I usually take the bendy route..

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yeah I've got 40+MPG out of my Digi 8v's in the past. Even the track car gets over 35mpg on a long run.
