And who says you can't get good mpg in a mk2 what do you get

[crossedmike]

Well as well know I have a mk2 and a big thing everyone mentions is mpg and how it's bad I mean I noticed on the way back from cpop I go 39.4 mpg and that got me asking what else do others get I mean I have a full system and Decat with a nicely serviced engine

I can average 39 or so on a decent run, if im just using it a couple of times in the week to go local it can drop out to about 34 or so, but all in all its not too shabby, tbh.

 

[crossedmike]

Haha average runs for me is like 29 no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get 40 did u make it back in one piece four wheeled haha

 

[Brummy]

yep.. all four wheels stayed in place this time.

 

[crossedmike]

Haha I had doubts about that dent but still retaining air I shall perform CPR (carefully pummel rim) on it to morrow seebif I can get it straight or round which ever it is haha

 

[Brummy]

That is one serious ding on that rim.
although I ve got a small chunk out of one of mine, but as long as its the right side of the tyre-bead, your ok with these things for a short while.

 

[crossedmike]

Ye I no it's so annoying I mean my gyres aren't low profile they standard so it would do it to most people allys or steelies that's the worst thing

 

[Mat Lock]

I didn't know you could get the trip computer to show that. how do you do that ?

 

[crossedmike]

Press the button on the washer stalk at the top along the right hand LCD display it oil temp speed mpg loads

 

[Mat Lock]

haha I thought that was the single wipe time period adjuster, like in my mums mk4 ibiza hahahaha

i really do know f all about this car.

42mpg yesterday over 80 miles of welsh roads

(but its only an 8v)

 

[starkygti]

44.2 on a run from kent to somerset well impressed usually only see it around the 30 mark maybe a little bit under but i blame my exhaust for that lol

 

[suj]

i get 42-43mpg when i go home (cov to brum)

 

[toddygti]

about the town its about 28-32, motorway back from southampton was nearer 47 (was doing 55ish most of the way coz of traffic) Plus, being a Cordy, I'm carrying more weight so I was quite impressed.

 

[jenk]

I can get just over 40mpg driving like a granny.......that's nothing compared to the mk4 though

 

[beezertart]

Mike, mine was exactly the same on way back from CPOP overall average this weekend over 450miles ish was 37.0,probably would've been better had we not sat on the M40/M4 for 2hrs ish....most i've ever had i think was about 40.1 but MFA's are notorious liars!

as a side note, car was tramlining and pulling like a mofo on Thursday in the heavy winds etc on the way to birmingham,was quite a hairy drive....was sure i could hear an intermittent knock as well somewhere around front offside but as it was occasional couldn't be definite. Myles checked my wheel bolts on Saturday,everyones now paranoid i think! and lo n behold the front ones offside had worked loose. torqued them up and knock has disappeared and the drive home was a much more pleasant experience

 

[vngtx]

i cant get over 32mpg

 

[kiwigti]

i took a photo this morning of my mpg @ 44.1 but went up to just under 46. was quite impressed
