8vs are the best after all  :tongue:

Well, for fuel consumption at least!

Not at all.

I've had an 8v and currently have a 16v - but with a rebuilt engine courtesy of awesomegti.  :smiley:

The 8v rarely exceeded 30mpg. The valver regularly tops 40mpg. :cool:

This weekend I was on a hoon with the Irish equivalent of Pistonheads, drove 380 miles including to and back from the meetup and an hour-long rag over A and B roads, and averaged 38.5mpg. Just incase you think I was driving like a Priest, I was caught speeding at 156km/h (96mph) and almost lost my licence. But they're my first points ever, so it's not too bad.  :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter if I boot it or granny it - I get 33 every time I fill her up.

I get the same as Kitty etc, around town 35mpg, and even at 75-80mph on a run 40 mpg, can and have got 50.4mpg driving like a granddad!

Prefer it when I only get 20-25mpg though :grin:

On my 16v about 44/45 on the mway at 65mph, anything above 70 and it would go below 38
Round town roughly 27/33.

That was after replacing injector seals, TCI module, 2 injectors, fixing every vac leak, setting the timing and fuelling as before when i first got it, 17mpg town, 22 mway....
