a3sport Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hi, Wondering if someone can help me, i have a 1997 Audi A3 Sport which seems to be drinking a lot of petrol. I was wondering, on average, how many miles you get out of £10 / £20 etc. I need to know roughly. I have been driving it normally (changing gear every 3500 / 4000 revs) so i dont see why it is using up so much petrol Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quattroboy Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Don't know how far a tenner will get you. I tend to fill up full tank to full tank and get about 330-340 a tank if I'm lucky. My DIS says I average about 27mpg. I would do a fill up re-set your trip and then work out you mpg when you re-fill. My car's quite thirsty so if you're not bettering the above there could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3sport Posted May 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Thanks for your help mate, I will do that and see how many miles im getting out of a full tank. Any one else have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenh Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 S3s usually push around 27mpg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Robin Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Well I consistently get 33-34 mpg from my S3 even if I hammer it down the motorway. I don't push hard all the time though and mainly drive economically. I must admit that the DIS has been really helpful in teaching me how to drive economically i.e. best revs for gear changes when I am not looking to race. Mine seems to be an exception though as most other Tyresmoke S3 users report around 27-30 mpg for normal driving. Cheers, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snez22 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 my chipped A3 gives me about 29mpg with fast driving. get about 300miles from a tank. worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3sport Posted May 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Thanks for all your help people There is a problem somewhere as I worked out im getting approx. 15 mpg which is about less than half of what i should be getting. Anyone know what the problem could be or does anyone know exactly how many mpg I should be getting from the A3 sport Thanks again for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snez22 Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 you should be getting 30 average on a standard sport. 15mp is daft. i get about 100 miles from a tenners worth of fuel. that was when fuel was 76p a litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
