not bad going
« on: 20 June 2011, 23:24 »
been away over the weekend with the missis in liverpool (thats a whole new thread) decided to take the golf up with us to give her a run so chucked £30 in her expecting to have to refill her at somepoint but on returning this evening had a quick check of the MFA (fuel computer) and this is what she has returned over the entire journey.



not bad for a 21 year old golf gti with 143k on the clock, there not many modern hot hatches with the same fun factor as a mk2 gti that can return that kind of mpg.

Very impressive! (It works out to a shade under 47mpg when calculated from your numbers). Seems the MFA is pretty close too. Digi 8v I presume?

Im always pleased when I fill mine and see around 38mpg from fun run use only.
