1.6 MPG?

Can anyone tell me what is good(normal) MPG for a 1.6 Driver?


Cheers!

 

The most I got out that engine Pete was 43ish MGP on constant motorway with very little town driving, 36ish mixed driving

What you getting with the weber at the moment?

 

35 with mixed moterway and town driving.


Would you expect it to be more or less or the same MPG as when using a properly functioning 2E2 carb?

 

My 1.8 Driver with Weber carb pretty much always give 35 MPG - thats with foot to the floor most of the time

 

My 1.3 mk2 gets on average 40mpg, not great to be honest!

 

Hi,

For what it's worth (not much, well buggar all...) my PB engined 8v GTi gets 45 mpg on the motorway, 37 ish around town and when the second choke gets opened, (heavy right foot) I can get it into the low 20s high teens, but that's giving it mega death... (when it's warm)

 

oh... my 1.6 MK2 on 2e2



30 MPG mixed driving.

35 MPG motorway.



think mine needs a tune up !!?!!

 

Driver with Weber, 'gti cam' and panel filter - I'm lucky if I get 25 mpg. Thats with the CO2 at 0.7.

 

oooooothats bad dude! when was the last time you had the weber set up??


that could also be the effects of having gti cam in a non gti maybe??


So can anyone positively say whether a weber or a 2E2 peircrap uses more fuel?

Set up 2 months ago. it's always been bad.

I've got a 1.8 Fiesta diesel van for work, I only get 30 mpg from that.

So maybe the cars aren't the problem

 

yes... as i did!2d2k, your engine either needs a tune up, or if that has little effect then a new carb!or a little less right foot!


before when i had my poor 2E2 on, i was lucky to get30mpg mixed carefull driving. now that the Weber is on i can easilly get 35mpg, plus i got the advantage of the car 'feeling' alot quicker... less 'bogged down' then with the 2E2. it doesn't turn it into a gti by any means, but generally, to get the power you need simplyrequires less right foot movement!

Cheeky F***ker. The Diesel is a 1.8 turbo though Though I think the Driver is faster

 

my valver averages about 17 round town and on a long m/way trip (more than an hour) i can see up to 26!

 

i was intending for my next motor to be a valver!!

 

could just be the way i drive mate i do at least 20mph over the limit in most places!

 

sounds all too true!!


so wot do you normally shift at when you are driving at your 'normal pace'??..... probably most other peoples quicker pace of driving!
