I get around 30mpg over here, I recently saw 46mpg on a nice run up to London though

Copper plugs won't last as long as iridium but they conduct the spark better and are around a quarter of the price

I'm averaging 36.7mpg mostly rural and A road, 15-30 miles a trip, low traffic.

If I mainly did town driving, I'd imagine 31 is what I'd get.

My car just did a 200 mile run and averaged 38mpg. I cleaned the maf and iat sensor before I set off though (I averaged 33mpg on a 60 mile motorway run this morning so it made all the difference)

Out of curiosity, do you notice a difference when running 99 on a normal 150 gti?

I would have thought running super prem on a mapped 95 motor would cause some serious timing pull??
