1.8t vs 2.8 v6

[daz veedub]

mines about 26 around town dropped to around 18/19 when giving her some mid 30s on long runs

on a typical trip to norwich i cant just about nudge 32mpg that is being very gentle with the throttle.
great car though

dont see much diffrence in fuel between my 4:mo an 1.8t on the motorway feels like your revvin the nuts out the 1.8t but the 4:mo is so much better for it but 1.8t is better about town

And fuel is crap you will get between 17 and 22mpg in town pending on how u drive and on a run between 25 and 30 again depends on how u drive

Tbh I don't see much more than that in my 1.8t

Same as mine, lucky to get much more

Hmmm i thought the 1.8t was good on fuel? O well makes me even happier i have a 4mo cos The note is worth it

Mine over 80ltrs of fuel averaged out @ 28.6mpg (mixed driving, mostly short runs) and that was not doing it on the mfa readings but working it out with miles covered etc.

short runs are where all your fuel is going. i used to drive 1.5miles to work every day and was only getting about 22mpg, go for a long motorway drive and i would see about 45mpg driven sensibly.

Doubt that tbh, book figure is around 37/38 for a 1.8t, most I have ever seen on a run is 35.6.

Sensible run i can see 40-42 with a feather-weight foot and thats on the IOW. Boring as hell though.

Mine goes lower than 15 when im doing my bit to fcuk that O zone layer up
