18p/mile... bugger that work only give us 16p/mile.

....I worked it out a few weeks ago (only because someone kept asking me cos she was insisting on buying me fuel!) that when V-Power was £1.05 and my average displaying 27 mpg, petrol was costing me 18p/mile. I calculated it over several 300 mile journeys.

just for the record, I filled her up and whilst there were still 3 litres in the 55 litre tank had managed 252.1 miles...not sure what that works out at, pretty sure its not good low 20's?  :embarassed:

TBH i have not been driving too crazily, I am still getting back up to speed as it were, as I get used to driving a powerful car again...reckon I have had a couple of rather spirited drives through this of about 20 miles. 

Anyway, you dont buy a GTi to drive like a nun. :evil:  Lets see how few miles I can get out the next  :drool:tank...

(more if i get that bleedin cruise control fitted lol)...ok guys its becoming an obsession now... :laugh:

I've just had 4 years of driving the PD150..GTI now 3 weeks old and I still dare'nt look at the average mpg.

But I agree with the guy earlier..You dont buy a GTI/ED30 etc without knowing the juice wont last long.

So....here we go...back on this old chestnut...but feel i have to complete the story really...

Been running on Tesco's Finest RON99.

with a/c off, heated seats off, big feck off speaker in boot off and Cruise used on the daily towny commute...my miles per tank went from about 270 to 330!!

The computer is showing I have 8 miles left in the tank, but reckon i could run on zero for a bit after that too of course....so, I reckon i will get around 350 miles to this tankfull (about 12 gallons if i do the math correctly)...Now thats a much better fuel consumption dont ya think.  :wink: circa 30MPG!

That said..dont think i will be driving this way through my next tank.... :evil:
