stu h 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 bloody hell!!!I dont often fill her up -usually just put a weeks worth at a time -£25 and that usually gets me a pityful 160/180 city miles. think its about £40 to fill it up from very empty (is that right?)but if your hammering it all the time......

Slim 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I get about 28mpg driving it conservatively on main roads, 19mpg giving it death on main roads and about 22mpg driving around town. I get about 150 miles out of a tank too, but I tend to be a bit enthusiastic with the throttle. Link to post Share on other sites

jonvr6highline 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I tend to spend about £34/£35 for a full tank, but thats probably because I get it from either Sainsbury's or Tesco's.Still going to try Shell, to see what the performance is like.Do about 200 miles on a full tank, which is very local driving generally. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 i would get about 280-320 miles from a tank. thats a bit every type of driving. flat out for the whoel tank it'd be down towards 150miles. i have run out of fuel once...as i entered the petrol station..they stutter forst, and go a few miles.

Atlas 12v 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 That does seem a bit low. I do about 150 miles a week on £20.00 of optimax. That includes mainly country lanes and odd bit of motorway. And also always biting if somes up my arse... Link to post Share on other sites
danp 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 About 300 to the tank. MFA says about 26/27mpg which sounds about right (commuting, M way, A roads...so a bit of a mix) Link to post Share on other sites
Zonda_ 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I drove the new one up from Southampton yesterday, at one point the gps was showing 130mph, I mentioned this is the Southampton in Germany right? There were a few more 3 figure blasts and I did the 330 miles on one tank. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 well i cant fill it up due to a dodgy leak in my fuel tank after about half way, but if its any consolation im getting 15-18 mpg driving it gently, and around the 6 mpg mark when i drive it hard lol.

andy 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Never ever got less than 250 miles off a tank with my Golf, the Corrado does 400 but thats on a 70 litre tank. Like acf a fair mix of driving, some motorway some flat out lanes, some town. 150 is mental, have you discovered 3rd, 4th and 5th gear! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
MK2R32 0 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well i hate to rub it in but my old 3.2ltr it returning me on the MFA an average of 30-32mpg normal driving, if i take the car to work, keeping up with the flow of traffic hence no right foot, i average 35-38mpg, Good eh, but I've had it down to 15mpg on a trackday with a constant supply of NOS.

silverline 0 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 £30 lasts me about a week and i think i do roughly 200 miles in a week, perhaps a bit under. i do a fair amount of driving in traffic which doesnt help but the mfa still registers between 25-27mpg. Link to post Share on other sites
