AZURES3 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Just shows how tight my S3 was from all those 4 miles journey's to work, returning comival MPG. I thought all you 27 + MPG people were driving everywhere in 6th. Since relocating and having a 22 mile journey of which 18 miles in motorway my MPG has increased greatly after a month of this. So my journey to Peterborough this morning which inclusing all the lovely queues on the M25 and A1, then a good burst on the A1M returned 29.2 MPG The new tyres are great too.

Sparky Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Oh okay then. If I must.... I did try to keep the hooning around down a bit to make the fuel last, but it just begs to be driven quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Managed an average 15 MPG on a morning blast a few weeks ago when it was really cold. The turbo was sucking in cold air like a Dyson It begs to be driven and enjoyed. This car could be a keeper for me, since 1998 I have not kept a car longer than 18 months. AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
