Fuel consumption figures

For those interested:

Just run my 1985 1.8 GTi Cab over 342 miles at an average speed of 52 mph. This trip used 39 litres of fuel:

Conversion: 4.54609 litres per gallon: thus 39 litres = 8.58 gallons.

342/8.58 = 39.86 miles/gallon

Converting to kilometres/litre:

39.86 * 0.35401 (conversion factor) = 14.11 kilometres / litre.

The car has 102,000 miles on the clock.

Not bad for a 22 year old car.
