you wanna try reving it past 4ooo rpm every once in a while  :laugh: :grin:

I'm going to drive like a ba5tard on my next tank, won't be until at least week Monday though as I've still got to ram my final fill up data down soft lads throat and I've not even used half a tank yet on my special 70-mpg-a-thon  :grin:

I get around 260 through normal driving around town on fairly short trips. New job from next week sees my commute go from 2 miles of 30mph to 40 miles of A road. Hoping to get closer to 400 miles. If not I'm going to swap with my girlfriend & use her Yaris for work. She has no appreciation of cars though  :undecided:

Two examples:

  • 200 motorway miles + A-roads = 374 miles from 41 litres (40.87mpg)
  • Normal driving A-roads + bit of motorway + very little town = 404 miles from 49 litres (37.41mpg)

Now = 2011 MK6 GTI - Reflex Silver
Past = 2006 MK5 GTI - Tornado Red and Solid Black

how did you get 700 miles out of a full tank? That seems insane
