Fuel consumption

[awallis]

Hi ..

I have a mk2 golf gti, its all standard engine wise and it reads on average 28.6 MGP on the trip computer.
But really im only doing 18.6  :sad:which is costing me a bomb in fuel.
soany suggestions what it could be?

Have you worked out the real mpg figures.

[awallis]

 ^ yes ive worked out my figures on a website on a average over 3 trips too the fuel pump. average of 18.6

18.6mpg?

I get and average 25.6mpg from the valver. Is that bad? That's autobahn driving though.

my fuel economy is real bad too just thought thats the way these old 8 valvers are   

whats all this about blue temp senders is there another type? only have my golf 6 months spent a grand already on bits and pieces

Have you read my sig'? 

 It's true that whilst a skag habit is less socially acceptable than an old vw it might well be cheaper to support.

That said the 8v's should be alright on fuel, so if it's drinking very heavily it may well be something amiss.
