Still cant decide on the GTI or the GTD.  If the GTI isnt much better then my R32 ill prob go diesel.  At the mo I can get 300-330 miles out a full tank on my MK5

GTi - 320-330 per tank average
Leon FR (basically same as GTD) - 520-540 per tank average, it does go everywhere driven like a company car so not bad atall  :whistle:

Looks like the devils fuel it is.  I do a 40 mile round trip to work everyday so in the R32 its not great.  Work pay for half but there sort of hinting a 3.2 V6 is costing them abit

Don't do it  :grin:
Hows about you get a Git and balance out driving it heavy with a few easy days, you should then get approx 400-450...?!!

Personally I'm getting around 300, so my balance is not right  :wink:

I want to keep what ive got really but its costing too much to run.  The GTD or the Leon are the only diesels I like at the mo.  Seeing as your a fellow reds fan I had heart failure when I went to Anfield from Hertfordshire.  The R32 cost me £160 in fuel there and back.  Took my wifes van a few weeks later £50 to fill up the tank and still had abit of fuel when we came back.  But ill be taking the train to tonights game.  Come on boys!!!!

I get around 500 miles in the GTD but can be more/less depending on conditions/journeys by + or - 50 miles

Based on £1.40 litre for Diesel and £1.32 for Petrol and 500 miles / 350 miles per tank respectively, the cost per mile is around 15p for diesel and 21p for petrol (just the fuel not any other running costs)

Question: Is the 5p per mile extra for a petrol enging worth it to you or is the 5p per mile saving for going GTD worth losing the petrol engine?

^^Hope that makes sense?
