GTI 16v MPG whats the best youve got
« on: 25 October 2013, 20:53 »
Just driving to the misses parents in norfolk was very suprised to see 42.7 MPG on my dials its a 200 mile round  trip and tbh did not drop below 39mpg on the winding roads with lots of round abouts

Whats the best youve ever done on what petrol I was using tesco's super fuel stuff not sure of name. Used a quarter of a tank from full so probs just over a quarter.

42 odd mpg on m/way but to get that i had to do 60 mph.Doing 70 gave me 37 and 80 dropped it down to 32 but i dont rely on the MFA.

Most accurate way i know is to fill car up,do 100 miles or even 200 and then refill from same pump,same garage and then calculate how much fuel it takes to refill.Work from the first "click" and push nozzle right in.

Over 30,000 miles of mixed road driving I've had on average 36mpg and best 41mpg

That's on brim to brim fill ups religiously recorded on the RoadTrip app.
