FAO: VXR drivers with a sense of humour...

[Penfold101]

Well, it may be a bit of a risk reviving the old Petrol/Diesel subject, but I was quite impressed coming up the A9 in Scotland last weekend when I saw these figures on my computer...



And then looked at my fuel guage...



Question is - do I buy a 2.0 Turbo next...

[MAF 3.2 V6 GSi]

i pay £30-£40 for 164 miles sure you ain t cheating ??? Lol

[neverlandandy]

at 57.5 miles to the gallon stick with what you have for now especially the way fuel prices are going

[Penfold101]

Yeah, that's refuelling when the car had been running for an hour so was at peak economy, and being stuck on single carriageway behind trucks for the bits that weren't dual...

Not the most exciting drive if I'm being honest...

BUt from a 165 bhp engine I can't complain...

My Vectra CDTi 1.9 150 BSR remap gets nearer to 600 a tank now. Most of my mileage is motorway but thats still good

[Ian S100]

We had a few days in Stratford last month & when I calculaed the mpg a few days after getting back we'd averaged 53 mpg over 350 miles

[simac]

I've got a picture on my phone of the computer on my 1.8 showing over 61 MPG I was taking it easy cos if was nearly empty, filled up and then did about 5 miles down hill. It started at 70 MPG, then stuck at 61 for ages LOL

I think the hills most have confused the poor thing

i think im doing somthing wrong, with my 1.9 cdti sri, i normally get 48mpg, on the motorway and 38-40 around town, with a light right foot. whats your secret?

[Penfold101]

I have a lightly loaded hatchback and traffic in front of me...

Serisouly though, my average on the computer is about 50, which is about 46/48 on my spreadhseet calculations...

Also, my car's been well run in with 60K miles in the first two years...

[dv8]

Oh.. mines only done 5k, not eben run in yet i suppose and its an estate, assuming its heavier. but the boto is not empty, ills ee what i can do..
