fuel usage

[bullzeye]

i know petrol prices are sky high at the moment, but do you think this is about right,

i bought myself a 1.8t yesturday, i put £30 fuel in, and have done 70 miles, just short journeys to and from school ,town ect
i have put my foot down a few times but i wouldent say i have booted it, just pickin up fast to about 40ish

before this i had a 1.4 that hardly used fuel, infact £30 would of last me a week, but obviously i dident put me foot down in that lol

so does 70 miles for £30 sound about right for a 1.8t?

Yep, if anything thats about 6 miles too many

Do a search mate, lots of posts about fuel usage.  i use £70 on a 300 mile run, but then im not suprised the way i drive  

Does sound a bit lean, get her serviced etc and see how she goes from there

Mmmm, they can easily stay in the 20s to the gallon if it's only around town.

I do short journeys/city driving and in my agu (which I believe has the poorest economy of the 1.8ts) filling up is about £70 I guess and get about 220 miles. Have you scanned it for any fault codes? Although I guess even that may not highlight the issue.

I've never seen 30+mpg on my display.... (usually low 20's)

The thing is, you get sod all petrol for £30 when its £1.40 a litre.......... 

Just realised i do 64 ish to £20 so 80 something to £30................ Could be your MAF?

i havent  scanned it no, i got the car yesturday , and i thought if there was any faults, a light would be on the dash.
im gunna fill her up again tomorrow, and drive it  as normal as possible, and see if that helps.
