What's your mpg's like now?

Are you picking a box up tonight?

Best laid plans and all that crap. Every time I want to go up something else 'more important' comes up!

Mpg for me was always circa 40/41, with 39 being my long term lol. Was ragging it everywhere. But with box when driving on mway for a fair distance been well in to the 50s. But i dont know if that computer tricks. Do see a full tank lasting longer though

The computer does overestimate more with the box on, but even so, I think you're doing better with it. If that 41/42 was actual, then MFD indicated was probably 44. 50mpg indicated with the box is probably 45/46 actual, but as you say, that is a long journey. i'm getting far better performance for same mpg with the box on.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please send me through the same information?

I'm taking delivery of a GTD later in the week, I would be very interested in a box depending on how the insurance works out?

I've been watching this thread for some time and I am seriously tempted. I too would appreciate more info on insurance which is probably my main concern

As ive found out this morning More Than wont allow any modification even though its available to choose on the dropdown on the onlione service. Pretty poor really.

I outdid an A4 Saloon 3.0TDI Quattro (245PS) on the way to work this morning from 30 to 100 on a bit of empty road  It was extremely close, but I just about edged it, then straight back down to 80 on the dual carriageway. My missus was in the car and not best pleased with me.
