pimpcat 0 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 just wondering my 4 motion will only get 33mpg on a long run but i have a friend who has a v6 syncro pasat who can get 40mpg on a long run he has done 100k tho. is my mpg going to improve as the engine has only done 18k! (Virgin). fuel is not a problem jst wondering as my old mk3 tdi's got better after it had been run in. or is the difference in the syncro and 4motion systems? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Im not sure how heavy the syncros are but I kno the mk4's are quite hefty, I think your lucky to get 33mpg myself! Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 as above iirc the 4mo weighs over 1500 kg Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 the weight of the 4 motion is 1401kg and 204bhp and the pasat is 1478 and 198bhp so how does that work out? so could it be down to the low mileage ? Link to post Share on other sites
vr6madmike 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Theres all sort of factors involved on these "long runs" you will never get a fair comparison, dont think about it just give it some death! Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 my mates wife has a 4motion, itll go as low as single figures if you want it too but she says she can get anything upto 36mpg out of it. Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Even stuff like your tracking, camber can affect your MPG, as said, there are a few factors that could affect what you get.I've had 9MPG out of mine...My motto is: SMILES PER GALON!! Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 i went to inters on the weekend ended up putting £70 in on fuel and only done 400 miles, most was fast motorway style driving is that bad?, i think so... mostly averaging 25-27 mpg... most ive ever had is 29 mpg i think... it is a k plate so it is fairly old now..
