i prefer three door and thats what my 91 was but i was more bothered about drivetrain and bodywork condition than doors. its got 97k on the clock and 14 DEALER! stamps in the book im the third owner, 40ish mature bloke before his wife used it for school run. check out the gallery its 100% fresh and untouched!

Hi I have mk2 8 valver, i usually get readings between 30 and 40mpg on longer runs, and it goes down to around 20mpg if i hammer it. It sounds like your mfa is a bit faulty, i would think you should get a better mpg reading than what you say your getting. the mpg reading on your mfa is taken from a vacuum hose on the inlet manifold that runs through the bulkhead to the back of the instrument panel on the dash, if this hose is split or has a hole in it it can cause inacurate mpg readings on the mfa, can i suggest that you check this for any defects.

even if i hammer it the lowest i have seen is 28.2 it returns 32 average consistently tho. cant imagine 10 mpg you would do a tank in 150 milesish!
