mpg?

[daddy5x]

evening all ive realighned my throttle body after cleaning it  with vag com and been on a run   round trip of approx. 176 miles   ave  30/35 mpg doing 70   (ish)  mph    is that reasonable mpg   1.8 aum turbo     thx

That sounds ok, it depends how you drive to be honest. I went for a blast with a couple of mates yesterday and averaged 19mpg over 40 miles, I travelled the same distance on the motorway earlier and averaged 36.

thx yeah I was putting my foot down a bit trying to see if it would  go under 30mpg    and I couldn't    so I guess ive realighned it right   cheers

As dom says  my standard Agu averages anywhere from below 30 mpg to 35-38 mpg dependant on how i drive it  tbh i found with my old Aum after a stage 2 map etc that i got more mpg than standard so there's no excuse not to map a 1.8t  (mine will be getting the r-tech treatment eventually)

My AUM is averaging 36.8 but that is a lot of motorway miles at 70 or so. It would probably be 35 or less if I was more local.

The first culprit for poor economy is the temp sensor. About £10 to fix and you would get that back in no time if it is faulty.

forgot to add that was with a full load = me   wife 3 kids   noisey on way there   3 of them asleep on way back lol

I average around 36 give or take a couple. I've had a return on 42.5 on B roads.

I get 36.5 average.

40+ @ 80mph 

I know folks put tesco 99 in, but I think it gives poor mpg compared to vpower.

I was playing with my instant consumption on the motorway last night. Cruising at 70mph in 5th on a flat stretch returned 34mpg, 80mph saw 32mpg.
