:happy2:

sorry about the dirty dials and the poverty spec ! :rolleye:
im sure DanGB had a stupidly high mpg but cant find any of his posts..
i thought id read all the mpg thread but somehow this slipped past me! ... http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,10549.0.html
so the one to beat is ub7rm 41.1 :happy2:
-
I told Buzz this but he just wouldn't believe it could go above 40 mpg. Proof right there :happy2:

ive averaged 45mpg over a full tank before when driving from Wankum(the last shell station before leaving germny) and i never refilled had to refil just before honiton on the A303. that was about 580-600 miles.
was a night drive with zero traffic, and car was on cruise control @70mph, running shell vpower 100racing and bluefin stage 1.
its the one and only time have managed it. i nomally get drastically less than that
-
Driving at 56mph on the motorway with cruise control on, I've averaged 45mpg. But it's no fun!

True story.
I drove to Jays in Accrington today and didn't exceed 70mph the whole way.
I've never been overtaken by so much in my life. I think even the Artics fancied giving it a go.
42.8mpg on a 350 mile round trip though :party: 3/4 of a £62 tank I thought wasn't too bad. Hate being raped into lane one all the time though!

funny i got taken by 2 toyota picnics yesterday, we were pissing ourselves! i wasnt happy when a caravan started to give me abuse! :confused:

howzat!!

wow thats good! :grin:
-
Always (nearly) a DSG that gets the better fuel consumption.
Regularly get mid to high 30's mixed driving. Never seen 40's!!!
Outlaws have moved to Lincoln so new target on the long motorway run.
-
Motorway trip. Cruise on. All toys off. Very boring. I normally am lucky to get 300 milesfrom a tank in my daily stop start commute.

Hit about 43 on that journey but only got a photo of this.
Managed to hit 40.0 today as a matter of fact on a road doing a steady 50. Wasn't that boring either as the road was quite an interesting one to drive.
Normally only see about 25 on the commute :sad1:
-
My old work run (walthamstow to lewisham) 13 miles from north to south london. I can get 30mpg but i would give anyone with an R32 £10 if they manage not to floor it through the blackwall tunnel with their windows down :signLOL:

Hehehe, I dug out this thread today too as I got a good result on a trip around the M25 earlier today. Not quite as good as yours mind...

That was while doing 70mph on the M11 southbound, then 50-60mph on the A406 eastbound.
Anyone wanna ask me how I did it?
And before anyone says - its not photoshopped etc, its 100% genuine - feel free to closely inspect the photo. I guarantee its genuine - taken with my iPhone after my journey.......
-
LOL Ifti, as i said the other day, im impressed with that thing. That MPG number is crazy tho!!

Its the wife's Golf Bluemotion.
Pretty damn impressive though huh! Im using it at the moment while I look for a new replacement for myself.
50mpg+ around town.
Easily above 60-70mpg on a run.
Doesnt shift like a GTI though :grin:
-
This mpg thread. Overrated I say. :laugh:
-
Tell me 'bout it Hedge :laugh:
Ever since the ITG and the 'zorst I'm getting 20mpg on the work commute :scared: used to be 28-30!
I'll have an easy run in tomorrow and try to remember to get a pic, it's a nice mixed route (some A-road, some motorway, some small roads).
-
I was impressed with a 37mpg run I did, sat at just under 70 on cruise up the A3 and round the M25, but some of these figures are damn impressive (not you IFTI thats cheating :wink:) think this thread would be even better if for people who dont know each others cars intimately, that people included a quick detail on mods, to know if standard etc.
As im thinking about the possability of a remap and much easier to justify to the missus if you can get more from a tank :happy2:
-
neo you need to stop enjoying your car sir! :laugh:
