I get about 100 miles for ?10 in my mk2 1.8 16V, on a longer journey, considerable less around town or when giving it death!!

I'm FAR from ashamed! The only reason i would get a GTI isn't really the speed, its the little extras like PAS, electric windows, air-con and stuff, which is difficult to fit in mine i'm told (well some of it).

p.s you never did say how far ?10 would go in your GTi?!

Thats pretty much what i get. I generally just don't take note of what its on, just put ?10 in after i've done 100.

I travel  from Stirling to Aberdeen which is 120 miles. I have a 16v and I use a 1/4 of a tank to get up there and a 1/4 to get home again, thars sitting about 70-75 mph. The first week I got 360 to a full tank as for 1/2 a tank it got nailed! The second week I got 420 as I didn't nail it.
Does anybody think these new ecotec valves would make a difference to the fuel economy as everyone that I know that has put one in their car says their getting an extra 50 miles to a full tank.

good luck finding a mk2 with air con! i wish!

i get about 100 miles plus from a tenner but i always fill right up, i get nearly 400 miles from a tank if i stretch it.

i did use a WHOLE! :o tank coming back from gti interantional tho and that was 160 miles (i think) and 45 mins in traffic!  :o  that sucked but it was fun!  ;D

and yeah my saxo was proper s**t

I'm sure if you really wanted to you could put air con in!! Bodge it in from another car!! VW may well still sell the parts, ok so it would probably cost more than the cars worth, but hey!!
