Impressive Facelift GTI MPG
« on: 11 June 2017, 23:07 »
I am amazed by how efficient this car is compared to my previous 1.6T petrol. This is the results of tonight's trip:



I had ACC on the majority of the way set to 70 with the occasional blast when needed :whistle:

And over a journey distance of 137 miles at an average speed of 54 mph, that's pretty impressive.

I dropped down to 50mph for the last 10 mins and it wouldn't budge from 49!

I don't usually drive like this but I just wanted to see what the car could do on a run. Some average 50 zones on the motorway really helped though.

I did a round trip to Wakefield from Birmingham this weekend in ECO (with aircon on all the way) also set to 70 and I was blasting it sometimes (to avoid the odd idiot) and got 46 average which I thought was good.
