With a 1.3 I'd say you should be getting in the 30's with a well setup engine.
My 1.6 gets about 30mpg atm and about 36mpg with redex  :cool:

Black boot polish FTW  :cool:

Try T-cut to bring back the red.

You get engine degreaser to clean under the bonnet. Once you've clean it up get heat resistant paint and paint the engine up. :wink:

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

1.6 Driver = 27-31

1.8 Digi = 29.5-37.5

1.8 16v = 26.2-33.9


Woked the Digi and Valver out by the MFA over 10 weeks each and above is the worst to the best. Worked the Driver out by ££ and miles!  The 1.6 Driver being the worst on fuel IMO..... also the Driver being the slowest!

Sorry but that rubbish! Not that I dont believe you, but that I get 35+ out of my gti 8v, and you cant get close with a 1.6!

Harsh, but I had to go through it when I was 17 with my 1.3 mk2!

on my 1.6 driver im not really sure but on a k-jey gti 8v ive had mine up to 39.1 and lowest after a good, fast run, about 26.0
but i do think its roughly the same though as the amount off petrol ive put in isnt too different
