UBM Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks for the idea Dave! Who can claim to be a member - I think I can - 58mpg on the way in this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loddrik Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Only on a run, otherwise about 44mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 62.5 mpg on a run from Liverpool to North Yorks. But that was in the last car. This car is the same but only done 6k miles and only got 60 mpg on the same run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Not bad going! You got a tuning box fitted or is it re-mapped? Or is it downhill all the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Standard, mate. No mods yet. Wifey won't let me and I can't sneak a remap past her, she'd know as soon as she got in it! She can smell things like that! Thinking about a tuning box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3TDI Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Teesside to castle coomb and back on one tank, 4 up and at a decent pace. about 650 miles i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossG Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 What is wrong with my car? I don't think I have ever seen an average for a trip of more than 45mpg. Sure, I see the odd 100+ on the instant read out, but this never translates into a decent overall avarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobK Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I never get over 50mpg on a journey. I've been recording fuel consumption since I got the car and it's still averaging 40mpg after 8000 miles. No sign of it improving over time.

Hopsta Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I'n only managing about 46/7 mpg(according to DIS) equating to 500 miles per tank. Daily journey consists of 35 miles each way at mixed speeds, including motorways. Only every manage to get 50ish litres when completely empty (55litre tank). Forgot to see if this could be adjusted when services last week. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
