shao_khan Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 well actually it is a loan car but got it for a while. Bora 1.9TDi 130 - it great, although someone told me the fuel economy was supposed to be good, I couldnt get any more than 68mpg on my trip to Gatwick and back, I was expecting loads more.

cheechy Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 The most I've had out of my Bora TDI sport 115 (hopa'd to approx 150) is 75mpg on a run from Penrith to York. That was doing almost a constant 50 mile per hour and 6th gear without accelarating too much. Thats my record! In practice don't expect any more on average use over a few thousand of 50-55mpg. Not too bad though really is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well I would if I thought I could get good fuel economy out of it. And I can believe someone got better ecconomy than me I actually like the car a lot - the Bora is nicely trimmed, quite well specced and I do like it (in fact I have asked the dealer for a price for it) so you never know. I would love a Passat V6 smoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techie Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I usually average around 45 MPG in my Fabia going to and from work. Mind you it is putting out 185 bhp, but not for long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheechy Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 The reason I rememer it so well is that it only happened once and It was the wife who was driving........... I couldn't have managed that sort of mpg. Its the old running cost v's performance argument. I'd love to run an RX8 but the mpg is scary.... I mean if you wanted a real sports car that's what you'd go for eh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
