How many miles to a full tank of petrol will a......

Golf GTI 8v

Golf GTI 16v

do?

depends how you drive

depends how you drive

And the type of roads, motorway driving opposed to town driving will make a massive difference.

To answer your question...how long is a piece of string?

I drive 130 miles from Norfolk to London and back every week for work.

Mixture of A/B and motorways, rarely above 80mph

Using Roadtrip App on iphone I am getting average of 37mpg in GTI 16v

City driving kills it though!

Aslong as your getting better than me - all motorway driving to inters and back

[AcidicDavey]

In my 8v I got just over 400 miles, mostly motorway, 100miles on a roads and a bit on back roads

Hmmm, so the 8v's are not that good, I thought they would be very good. As for type of journey.......50 miles A roads 20 miles town per day. A Honda Accord can get 289 miles to £64 doing this and they are 210bhp and capable of 150mph.....Saying that an E36 BMW 328i 6 cylinder which gives 194bhp as standard can do 400 miles to £78, this is A roads and town driving.

My old 328 would get 44mpg on a 65mph run.. tried and tested. And will leave a vr for dust when required
