Had 45MPG last night after a very granny-like drive.

And having done a few brim to brim MPG calculations in the past, the MPG counter has always been spot on.

Edit: That's in my valver BTW.

I could usually get around 45mpg under normal driving conditions, seen over 50mpg on the motorway. My VR6 struggles to get above 30mpg.

Didn't buy my gti and vr6 to get good mpg. 8v is normally 25 and vr6 is about 17.

If I wanted over 40mpg I would buy something 1.0litre and French  :lipsrsealed:
