Can you better this mpg?

[am1w]

Easy, 55 litres in 8 laps of the Nurburgring and sprint GP circuit = 118 miles/12 gallons = 9.8 mpg over a full tank
Although mine was in the slightly less efficient MKV TFSI 
Lifetime average over the time I had the car was 18.7mpg.

So far my 1year and 2 month avarage is 20.4 mpg. Charming, I say! 

I get the feeling your falling outa love with Wolfgang asker, and now wished you brought a GTD instead?
or you could do what i did  :embarassed:.......

makes you feel better. My £20 lasts a whole week rather then a day 

No Steve. Very much in love and lust. We are going to re-take our wedding vows soon. 
The bad fuel consumption will not break the bank for me by a long stretch. What really p!sses me off is the over-optimistic mpg figures these manufacturers present us with.
 I will always buy a petrol over a Diesel, because that's the sort of gal I am. 

Now, who is the gal in the photo? Is that you?

No asker, that's my very happy wife, receiving the keys..

My car gets used by me, in anger when I feel like it.

Thank you for enlightening me.
I sincerely hope your good wife uses you in anger too. It would be a shame to be left out. Hopefully, the reverse also applies with both you good people.

I'll see what I can do this weekend. Shouldn't have much trouble hitting single figures with a spirited drive through the lanes.

15 mpg easy on a fun run.

The 47 mpg journey was a very painful, careful journey of 12 miles to work.
I did it mainly to compare mk5 to mk6 to bluefin.

Result - mk6 around 3mpg better than mk5. Bluefin around 2mpg better than stock.


You do have to drive like a granny on prozak though...

I won't do it again. Ever.  :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:

BTW, my 3 mile run along the Marylebone road gives me an average of 7.9 mpg.  I am blessed and blessed again.
I'll take a picture of the MFD next time I go through this living hell.

All this fuss about making cars more fuel efficient.

What about making the roads more fuel efficient...


Save a fortune and the planet.


Even the oil burners will have poor mpg in the traffic jams.
