i had a 110 before the 150...not so sure, dont think there is much in it when both are stock..
oh right!
ive been trying to drive off turbo the last 2 days...its pretty impossible! all i hear is turbo whistle!
400 miles down and the fuel gauge is sat bang on the middle line!
bet the second half won't return 400 though

I seem to be getting over 50mpg if I dont drive hard. I can do 60 down lanes etc etc and still get 54mpg on the way to work.
If I use the motorway, and go above 60mph however, I loose the chance off 55mpg! More like 47-52mpg.
I would HONESTLY say over the past 60,000 miles of driving my car. I must have got around 38mpg.
I give it beans ok!

Mines just sticking to speed limits and not ragging it up to speed.
Getting a consistant 50mpg on the journey to work and thats on A+B roads, so if i take it steady on a motorway i'd expect to see even more.
Not bad when you remember it's remapped

My Golf 1.9 TDI, 5-speed manual, originally 90 hp but now remapped with bigger nozzles (about 135 hp and 225+ pounds of torque), gets about 42 miles per US gallon in the winter and about 38 miles per US gallon in the summer (AC usage plus hot fuel causes retarded timing). So 40 mpg overall, or about 48 miles per Imperial gallon.
About 50-50 between urban and highway driving. If I spent more time on the highway, but drove slower than my normal 75-80 mph, my fuel mileage would improve. The best I ever saw was 52 miles per US gallon (63 miles per Imperial gallon) for two consecutive tanks on a long road trip. On one of those tanks I traveled just over 800 miles.

Have done 620 miles with this tank before the binger came on. Still going and at 655ish with aobut 15miles to go on trip. Will squeeze more than that outta there
Got 380 Miles from my last full tank
Think I spent a month giving it a Italian tune or something...............
I didn't buy my 150PD to try do 8,000 Miles on a tank, I certainly didnt get it remapped to do even more than that.
I paid for my BHP so i'm gonna use it

Leon 130 TDI... 49 Mpg in the trip and about 46-47 at the pump. I drive the car reasonably economically but have never managed to achieved the 52 Mpg, published average for my car even at 70-75 mph on a long run.

bet the second half won't return 400 though
That is crazy!
I had done 250 miles bang on half full, just over a quarter left and i've done 340.
I am going to stick to 60 MPH all the way home and take it easy accelerating up to speed, see what i can do.
Best average i have had was 47.9 MPG, still only 460 miles to a full tank, and that was conservative as hell!
180 miles on £20.00 again. pump price 113.9 shell.
is this ok for my car ? just clocked up 1200 miles.

i would hope for about 200 miles from £20. but depends on your driving/road conditions etc etc. and your engine is still tight, get some miles stacked on it then ask when its done 20k plus really.
