i am lucky if i get 300 mile to a tank. what way are you driving. it had to get new tyres at front after 6000 miles from new didnt even do a burnout on them any tips for getting silly miles out of the tank all so goin to bit the bullet and get it revo d

 

[muddyboots]

This is killing me!

505miles done, 200 left in the tank according to the computer, am I going to do it or fail miserably........... Hit a 70MPG average from home to work today

Sounds like you're doing well, I find the estimated range starts to drop quickly towards then end tho...

 

[NEG]

70.3MPG actually

6000 miles for a set of front tyres! Yikes!

I've done 23K so far, loads more tread left........

You have to drive like a Nun and have a diesel!

To be fair I do a lot of motorway miles and if you stick to the speed limits I am seeing 70-90 instant MPG read out on the old computer. Some good MPG speeds are 40MPH in 4th, 50-55MPH in 5th and 75MPH in 6th.

Car is already Revo'd and boy am I gonna enjoy making some smoke after this!

Oh yes Just make sure you wait until a deserving victim is behind

My little 1.2 pretty much always does between 390-410 miles per tank...

Doesn't matter whether I'm on the Motorway, driving to work, stuck in town....

Air-conditioning doesn't dent it by more than 10-20 miles per tank either.

I have a 52 Plate TDI Sport - I have owned it for 2 months, it has 60,000 on the clock and I cant ever get more then 350 Miles to a tank on combined driving "not that I drive with a light foot" and 400 to a tank on a recent Motorway trip to France at a constant 85-90.

Is there any diference in fuel tank sizes from early TDI 130's to later models. Mine will never take more then £32-£34 worth of Diesel at 96.9p.

Trip computer on 2 which I reset after every fill up, Is always on about 45 mpg when I come to re-fill.

Is this normal ? Cause all you other Diesel owners getting 600 + Miles is making me concerned.

Car is standard bar, Cupra Intake kit, and Green Panel Filter and soon to be Jabba Re-map.

Try venting when you fill up, you'll get another 10 litres in then. If you're unsure of venting use the search button

Aye, and getting 600+ miles to a tank is NOT normal, takes a lot of hard work
On a full (vented fill) tank 500 is more typical.

 

[Diablo559]

i must drive mine hard compared to you lot must slow down think i might reset the mpg trip haven't done this from new

 

[NEG]

Iam still trying to get to Muddy's target, had Friday off and went nowhere except for two short runs into town. My 10K average on the computer 2 setting is 53MPG, without venting the tank 450-500 miles is nearer the mark. With this 'economy' tank run, altering my driving style its not so hard to get to 58-61MPG even with local runs.

 

[iancupra]

Over the last 2000 miles ive averaged 29.7 MPG Not too bad considering my 1.4 C2 used to do about 33MPG. Best mileage so far has been about 230 miles

 

[NEG]

It's over!

687.3 Miles! On one tank.

I think I could have gone to 700 but it would have been touch and go! The low tank warning light and beep comes on very early, I trusted in the guage being accurate I lost my bottle when the needle was right on the Red line.

I put in 43 Litres for the first cutoff, then squeezed in a full 55 by venting, I think it may have taken a little more.

Oh it's good to drive 'normally, again

 

[muddyboots]

Really can't be arsed to try and beat it though !

 

[sssstew]

i reckon you could have run it lower neg how many mile left did the computer say?

 

[NEG]

Really can't be arsed to try and beat it though !

Iam glad you said that! I don't think I could go through it again either!

sssstew, the miles left in the tank where 0, it had been 0 for about 25 miles!

 

[sssstew]

fair enough, maybe a refill was wise then the most ive run mine on 0 was about 10 miles.

 

[Sero]

I havent even broke 310 Miles out of a full tank on my 1.4 thats with any kind of driving style

I need a diesel

 

[jase750]

is it just me or does it take forever for the fuel gauge to get from full to 1/2 but the no miles to get from there to "PING" ? ?

 

[muddyboots]

So....who is going to try and break 700 ?
