mines doing 25ish, mostly town/city + a heavy foot

1.6 driver with a weber

 

max 43 mpg motorway crawling, min about 25 heavy footed lane fun.
1.6 with a Weber.

 

38 min, with the right foot on the boards.

(TDi with a suspension kit ).

 

mk2 2.0 8v about 22 when giving it the beans, can get up to 48 according to the mfa!! if i drive like a granny

 

according to mfa on 8v I get 48 when doing 55-60 on motorway with very progressive use of accelarator.

even when having fun it only dips to 33 lowest.

think its got to be faulty althought its much better on fuel than 1.6 & 1.8 drivers I used to own

 

im positive that the mfa is optimistic. there not rele that much point in having it!

 

Yeah i dont believe the mfa when it comes to mpg.

Maybe its the way in drive - it just seems to eat (drink?) petrol.

 

34mpg at the moment

Used to get 38mpg, but the timing is proba bit out at the moment.

mk2 golf 16v

 

'Sensible Scirocco' on kjet gets 35 on average, up to 40 on a motorway / other long run (75 mph for 40+mpg)

 

motorway 35-40.
streets 20 if booting it.
mk2 golf 16v

 

Mines an 8v k-jet and I average about 35. 26 with toe down a bit and can get about 48 if i drive like my mum

 

23mpg is ave
as low as 18mpg if im giving it some
and a massive 26mpg if i drive like its sunday and my granny is in the car!

The car.......... 1.6 Auto!

 

Seems to be getting about 40 miles out of a tenner.

which is 16mpg

thats half the time thrashing and half the time normal driving, which is horrific!

and im 17 with a part time job, it;s going to have to be bye bye golf =[

 

my 8v k-jet averages about 35mpg in a mk1 cabrio, but thats driving pretty tame 90% of the time. My old 8v digi mk2 did about 22mpg but it was always driven in anger and was very modified.

 

Get it running right and you should see double that, and try not to drive like a testosterone fuelled teenager.

 

What you have to remember with the mfa is, that it is working out mpg based on vacuum and road speed, and tuned with the cars original base mpg figures in mind (ie brand new mk2 8v, no mods, perfect setup etc, factory basicaly).

More vacuum technicaly means better mpg than less vacuum at a given road speed.

I get about 40mpg on a run in my 2.0 8v, and about 29mpg round town based on my own figures etc.

 

my 8v does low 20 according to mfa

 

20- 130-150miles

 

I dont trust the MFA, says i get about 18 when booting it and no more than 26 when driving at a constant 50 down an A road... yet i put 20 quid in, and get about 130 miles... for a mix of booting and sensible.
