robcmar Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Bought my polo in september this year and am very disappointed witht he mpg. I seem to be only getting 27 - 30 miles to the gallon. Admittedly this is from short runs (2 journeys of 6 miles a day, bit more at weeke ends) but surely it should do better than this ? Went on a very long journey recently and the mpg wasn't great though not sure what exactly as I didn't think I had a problem. Is there a fault with it that I ned to go back to the dealer with ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemr32 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi what size engine is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetnik Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 cold weather and six miles journies - engine's hardly getting warm - 27/30 mpg is pretty good in the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 You want to try running a 1.6 Beetle in those kind of conditions - if I'd have seen anything like 27mpg i'd have been well pleased. Those short journeys are a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
