Question please...

[workhorse '90 8v]

I get 300miles out of ?30  

[Veedubgt18v]

i got an 8v and i get about 350 to 380 miles from a tank as well, ive driven a 16v to and they rip from about 3000 rpm upwards, but the 8v feels torqueier?!? from lower down. i got 8v cos of insurance

Well the MFA is showing the average comsumption of 38.ish but I am not too sure of the accuracy of this.  I will be filling up this afternoon on the way home so will have a better idea on accuracy.

Will let you know and thanks for the info on the 2 different versions.  Think I got the better of the two at the moment due to my driving conditions. I too am happy with the car and not found anything close to it for driving fun.

The MFA on my valver shows 32.5 most of the time. If I cane the tits off it it shows 30.3 or something similar. I love it compared to my last 8v though as I just keep the revs up a bit more than I would an 8v and i still have the torque i was use to. I have to admit I like the higher revs.

Okay gassed up this evening and 42 litres to 365 miles..

42 / 4.54 = 9.25 gallons..

365miles / 9.25 gallons = 39.46 miles per gallon !!!

Wowza.. If thats correct then I am muchus impressed.. This is from the MFA so I have noted the mileage on the speedo this time and will compare it with the mileage on the MFA next time I fill up.

Sounds cool to me, but 3.5days travelling per fill up is excellent for me.  Last car was an old 1.3 Astra which I bought to ferry the kids around at the weekends as my previous Smart car only had two seats !!..

Okay no laughing, but for fuel economy and playing with the traction control round corners it was fun whilst I had it.  And 87 MPG I couldn't grumble

But I still say since I have got the golf I haven't driven anything that handles like this for a long long while

To me GTi's dont seem that bad on mpg. My mate had a rubbish 997cc car and he used to fill up more times in a week than i did in a month. I get 32mpg on average

[Veedubgt18v]

i had a 1.6 driver and i used to get naff all out of a tank but then it was pierburg   8v is WAY better on petrol!

[workhorse '90 8v]

RESULT!!  Just did Hammy's little piece of maths and i'm getting 35.84mpg av.  this is excellent news as i thought i was 30 or less mpg
