700 mile club who's in?
- Thread starter M1KEH
- Start date
Agreed. If I drive at 70 with the cruise on and emptied the tank that would be the only way I would get 700 or near!!
Not as well as you might think.... They also have dpf's which need regenning which wastes fuel too....
They will be better but not by a massive margin.
I think I read a post on here a few weeks back and somebody put that they where disappointed with the MPG since they where no even close to the claimed figures. Think they got in touch with seat regarding the matter.

Look at my fuelly
That's all with 70mph cruise speed, running average is 63.8mpg (last 10 tanks), overall is in my sig. First 3 tanks were pretty poor because I didn't know how to drive the car. If I bothered to drop my cruise speed to 60mph, and did that all the time, I'd easily have 70mpg per tank.
A lot of the reason people struggle in the 1.6CR is the way they drive it

My point was that my 2.0 pd140 is doing 62mpg... So the 1.6cr isn't that much better, which you would expect it to be beign the smaller engine etc.
The 1.6 is great at 50-60 mph, unfortunately I find myself more in the 70-80mph bracket on the motorway - so I get terrible MPG from it, I could drive slower but when driving to Dublin the speed limit is in KMH for the vast majority of the journey so 80mph is the norm on that road.

My 1.6 only has 14,000 miles on, and always carry a full boot of heavy telecoms gear (making it equivalent to a full car). I'm sure your 2.0PD has a lot more miles and carries a bit less weight (although depends what you do
) At the moment, they probably aren't comparible.@markmeus - I always cruise at 70 and with a full car on the motorway return 65mpg average regularly. It's only the urban driving that brings down the average. No idea how aerodynamic the Ibiza is though.
The only thing I would say about the 1.6TDI is it appears very temperamental.

I regularly get 650+ miles out of a tank.. Average mpg since last November is 56.26 and the Eco has 18.5K on the clock now..
Not impossible at all mate, was on track all day so was WOT almost all day!
Sorry Luke for taking your thread slightly off track, just thought it was funny at the time!
