About 20 mpg

Timing correct, but only getting about 20mpg 8O

Just wondered what mpg everyone else is getting?

nearer 30 on both my running Campaigns

I run my 1800 GTI to and from work, an 11 mile journey one way. On the way to Blackburn from Preston I get around 34-35mpg and on the way home I get between 39.9 to 43.5mpg. The traffic conditions are a little heavier and I am going into the hills on the way up to Blackburn so maybe thats what give the differences.

General run-around mpg is about 36-38.

By the way, on a sub topic… I zeroed my trip meter on the speedo and on the MFA. After 444 miles on the speedo the MFA read 437. Which is more likely to be correct? Is the difference due to the mechanics in the speedo cogs?

Sounds like you got problems lhasa! I average around 40 mpg.

Yes I usually average somwhere between 30-35 in the GTI and I rarely refrain from opening it up  :twisted:

Cheers

Mine drops below 30 when I push it, but 35-38 on a long run is normal.

(Less than 10mpg on a trackday though!)

Cheers,

Drew.

17mpg no matter how I drive it  ops:  ops:




ahh……. just remembered …………. must be the turbo that does it  

about 32 mpg or 27ish if getting a move on - but mine does rev very high i.e 70 mph is about 4000rpm in top.

Assuming that you have the correct circumference tyres, and the right speedo cable drive cog (different sizes to suit different final drive gearbox ratios, with different colurs to indicate each one), I'd reckon that the mechanical one would be more accurate than the MFA one.

OMG!! 8O

What are the stats on your BHP/torque. What sort of performance do you get in return for 17 mpg?

I'm gettin around 30 to 35mpg on average but on long trips over 40mpg. Cant complain.
