16V - miles from full tank of petrol
« on: 31 May 2005, 12:15 »
Hi Guys,

Just wondering how many miles everyone gets from their valvers from a full tank of petrol.  I get about 370 from reasonably sensible driving.  Is this good/bad/indifferent?

I thought it was quite good aswell.  I've only had her for a couple of months and was just wondering.  I've recently cleaned the full fuel system, changed fuel filter and the car also has an ecotec valve.  I'm sure that will be helping towards the economy.

Yeh, 350 to 370 seems about right, I fill the car up on payday each month and don't have to fill it up again until next payday. It seems that the golf has a magic fuel tank !! .. it's always full. Admitedly I walk to work and only use the car for the Gym and shopping.

But 370 is good
