I get a reading of 41mpg doing about 70ish on a motorway, but sometimes goes right down to like 20mpg when driving back and to to work in the week round town.

I collected my mk3 gti 8v from Fleetwood today and drove down to the black country which is about 120 miles i did a stedy 70mph at 3000 revs and got a 38.4 reading on the trip comp. don't know how good the trip comps are but that was the reading. the tank was empty when i picked it up  (reading the bottom of the red) i put £25 in the tank which then said 1/2 a tank.. when i got back it was smack on 1/4 tank.. :grin: :grin: very happy with that.

My  8v mk3 is only doing 36 which is a mix of A roads and a small bit of urban. I was expecting low 40's

Ive never seen 36, i can get 31 at a push, on a steady dual carriage way after a long while.

LOW 40's!!! My car must be broken!

My Mk3 8v is getting about 29mpg in town and 35-37 on dual carriage ways etc. Im quite pleased seems fairly good on the juice. Ive just filled it right up and im seeing what the Mpg will be at the end of the tank. Im going birmingham to london on thursday and will involve some fannying about in london so a mix of motorways and ultra urban driving.
