Hello, welcome.

Hello, welcome.

Hi there, do you know ?

Hi. Im sure someone will come along shortly with an answer. I have a MK2 Cupra r and get at best 32mpg on the motorway. 24mpg is good for fast road. But 15mpg around town. Fast petrol engines tend to drink it. What are you getting?

I fill up every 180 miles. But do a lot of town driving. Motorway I can probably get 350 miles without filling up.

On my Mk3 I go from 12 - 35 depending on how hard you hit the right pedal, and this is on Shell VPower 99 Ron.

I'm hitting about 36 with long drives and 28 with town driving being good... All depends on how heavy your foot is lol mines also a mk2 cupra r not the MK1

I ran with my Cupra 300 with the DSG in Sport and found I couldn’t maintain 25mpg. After I’d had my fun it went back to Drive/Comfort and I got back up to 37mpg.

Much nicer to drive with the DSG in Soort though.

I'm very gear conscious lol doing what the car says is counter productive as you know the road. Its 28mpg with not alot of stopping... I also Dont do the engine revving or speed from lights lol some might say I'm civilised haha

And none off us bought a cupra to save money on petrol. But look on the bright side i see the AA are saying we will soon save £1 - 50 on a tank of fuel of my word that's about one lap on the track ye ha.

Very true. I look at it this way - I’m keeping the Petrol companies in business and helping the government out lol

I agree, I find that I'm very good until I get pushed by a diesel BMW then I get low double digits haha I don't do fast corners I'm all about straight line speed.

I'm not sure I can do any of that stuff. It's mainly Zoom... Red light... Zoom.

There speaks the voice of a Cupra Owner well done sir.

I’ve had my Mk3 Leon Cupra for 7 days now and have a 50mile daily commute, mainly motorway, plus a 130 mile trip home after picking it up. I filled the tank after leaving the dealer and filled up this morning. I’ve hit 43mpg on a trip home driving at 70 in comfort with the factory settings. I thought that was pretty good....? Car has no mods at all. If yours is excessively heavy on fuel look at dyno/mapping session maybe..? May help to see if anything untoward is going on or just map in any mods you have to get them running better together. Just a suggestion
