Fuel Consumption - Average M/PG
Greeners:
Mine has recently got a lot more economical and my commute to work see's between 35 - 38mpg and a range of around 400 miles. Although my trip to Oulton Park this weekend saw around 25mpg! :evilgrin: (much more fun though!)

My car runs well and when she gets down to about 60 miles worth of V-Power remaining, I buy just over 30 litres because it counts as a tankful and I then earn the maximum free V-Power over a period. That's all I'm bothered about.

I usually tend to refill when my fuel needle is at the last quarter mark.....

....Because Shell count a tankful as anything over 30 litres and because so many tankfuls per month result in reward (I only take fuel as a reward), the trick is not to fill right up. It requires a little bit more planning of fuel stops but has its benefits. 30 litres (I do 32-34) is approx three-quarters of our tanks. What you don't want to do is only manage to get 29 litres in on one session!
Whever I've seen over 32 mpg I've found the drive crushingly boring and I may as well have got a TDI.

Sadly commuting is boring as hell, so you may as well just sit back in D at 32mpg+ and save fuel for hooning!!

Yes, I'm very lucky as i don't have to commute except a 5-mile round-trip skool run. This week looks like a 30 mile max; Last week was just over 700 miles in the GTI plus a few more in a heavily modded Mk4 R32 with the windows down and a Milltek'd V6 which is quite the most glorious I have ever heard!
