Fuel consumption question

[SteveP]

I currently do around 3K a month and get around 325 miles to a tank on average from mixed Mway and A roads.

i dont get it, i have tried driving like a complete granny and still never get near to 30!! im always about 25/26 with easy driving...

Jeez... you guys must drive like tw*ts!

I've got a Mk5 R32 and easily get 350 miles a tank from non-motorway driving. I've had an average 40mpg on the motorway.

I reckon you'll see an improvement once remapped.

300 is more realistic i too quite often see 38/39mpg on the motorway though.

[SteveS]

can u explain again why remap helps?

[topher]

because you only have to feather the throttle to get going quickly, you can drive the rev range pretty much like a diesel and still get where you're going quicker than anyone else

It's ofter the slower driver that gets poor mpg.  They slow right down for corners and accelerate hard out of them.  The faster driver keeps up his speed without lots of braking.

I average 30 mpg and the tank is about 12 gallons.

I often average 35+ mpg and have even hit over 40 on a good motorway run. Im always getting over 300 miles to a tank, I think its nearer 350 miles per tank!

You are not allowed to comment, you run everywhere now and your mrs in your sig distort's the figures.
