Since changeing the plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm I'm getting a shade under 40 mpg from mine at the moment and on the subject of fuel, my local Sainsburys is still selling lead replacement petrol but its the same price as super unleaded so a bit pointless realy  :undecided:

300 town miles in a week?  :huh: Glad I live in the country and have loads of country roads to ermm... test the capabilities of my car  :grin:

I like going to Newbury from Didcot, got loads of steep hills to thrash it down @ just a wee bit over the spd limit  :laugh: :grin: :evil:

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

My GTi says, on average, I get 35mpg from it. Thats with mixed driving and I'm pretty impressed with that  :smiley:
Its far better on fuel consumption than my mk4 daily. That absolutely drinks it.
You can practically watch the fuel gauge go down as you press down on the pedal  :cry:

When I first passed my test I used to fill my car up from bone dry and it never cost more than £15, those were the days  :grin:
