VR6 fuel comsumption compared to a 20v turbo passat estate

[Rmachines]

Does any one know how it would compare?  I think its time for a VR6 but im running a 1.8 MK3 and a 1.8turbo passat, i cant really afford the economy to drop any more as the passat only gets 24/26MPG day to day and 32/34mpg on a run  Do you think i would notice much diffrence with a VR6?

Yes, the VR6 will murder the juice, I find my 1.8t good on fuel for the power etc.

my passat is an estate so its a bit heavy, i find it underpowerd for 24mpg    Its only the 150bhp tho.

What sort of MPG is realistic for the VR6 arround town then?

Mine vr does 18.5mpg  I put £15 in my gti 8v and it lasts all week. I put about £40 in the vr doing the same thing

Around 16 to 18 from people I know with them, my RS is around 28.

My Passat is a Jekyle and Hyde, depends how I drive it!
If I have a huge grin on my face then around town it can go down to 18mpg. A long drive on the motorway at ahem a high cruising speed I get 30mpg and driven gently on A/B roads at 50 then I can get 40mpg.
