I presume you mean a GTi and not a Driver? (Drivers are also 8V  :grin: )

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I was just pointing out that Drivers are 8V's as well as the GTi 8V's  :smiley:

Well, my 1.6 Driver makes it to Leicester and back (160miles round trip) on less than £40 and driving to work and back for a week (50~ miles a week), so thats well over 200 miles on less than £40.

Mother of god this question gets asked more often than "Where is the leak coming from"

MPG (Litres per Km) - who really cares?
miles to the gallon
A mild bit of MPG assistance please
What approx mpg u lot gettin on an 8v?
How many miles do you get to a tank of fuel full to red?
mpg?

...and now I'm bored of posting responses...oh, and also 35MPG when thrashing it :D

at a steady 70mph get 45mpg all day long above these speeds...can go as low as 30mpg...pretty good for a 8v gti....lowest ive had was 27mpg on a more sporting run shall we say :cool:

my old 16v was at 70mph about 34-36mpg and could get as low as 15mpg :grin: :grin: :huh:
