Coming from Doncaster to B'ham in my 2ltr I averaged 46.7MPG (Driving miss Daisy!) as I was in no rush to get back to ok after a meeting. The final reading was 45.4MPG after the inevitable town driving.

What's the highest you've ever reached?

Could I have got more out of it? - the car is in desperate need of a service at the mo!

My normal MPG when giving it a good thrashing is 34MPG

The best is 36.5 I think I have seen on a trip to Southampton to Devon. Was driving like a granny all the way. I got the 1.8T though with heavy wheels and lots of stuff inside weighing it down!

 

[vedhead]

41mpg from North Notts to Gerrards Cross in the GTI

 

[Essex Escy]

39.7 in a 1.8T from essex to nottingham and back.

 

[SubtleStokes]

41.6 the other day when I got stuck behind a slow moving lorry for about 30 miles. Mind you when I got past it the reading went down to 38 in the space of half a mile, but then I was racing a VR6 Corrado.

I got 36.5 from chesterfield to margate on sunday.

 

[Faisal]

Managed 40+ a few times...usually coming from basketball training in caterham back home (all downhill! lol)

 

[P]

44.9 going from Milton Keynes to Essex. I only wanted 0.1 more []

 

[jonny_bravo]

[steveh]

Coming back from Euro Disney with the kids hit 45 mpg, was at 70 mph for hours though

 

[nrgizerbunny]

76mpg going downhill from bath to bristol

but i cheated, it says gti on my car but its a diesel

 

[Vincec79]

Highest I have ever seen was 42 mpg, but typcially I normally do around 24mpg.....

Oh well its only money, and the grin factor more than makes up for it.

 

[GTIJASE]

Some oil burners eh! lol 76mpg!!

 

[ADH]

Just averaged 57.5 from Nott'm city centre 15 miles or so home ... Bl**dy speed cameras! Always first to 30 ..or 40 though.. Oh and like the guy further up the thread mine says Gti and it's a dirty diesel.

 

[Gary Cundliffe]

Same here, it says GTi but its a derv....71.2mpg

 

[GTIJASE]

I had a Peugeot Diesel before, similar performance to my GTI. Just could't stand the noise on cold mornings. I would consider another Diesel. You always had to use the plastic gloves to refil as there was always someone who managed to get the fuel all over the petrol pump handle!

 

[Franko180]

I don't think this counts, but I had some ridiculous figure out of a 1.8t 150bhp once. I was driving down the A46 at 55 mph during the fuel strikes a few years ago, I was trying to conserve fuel and managed 50+ mpg!

Managed average of 36.5 mpg yesterday, 288 miles from Glasgow to Nottingham, cruise control set to 85mph most of the time

 

[stokeballoon]

Just had to refuel, the trip when the light came on was at 387.2 miles, 1.8T remapped to around 205, the tank was 1/2 used running around town, and on a long motorway journey. On the m/way, i got 41 mpg, quite happily at 70/75 average. It is running on Optimax, and i really notice the difference when using 2 star supermarket fuel!

well happy.

AndrewB on here used to get 50+ from his 18T regularly.

Used to get 45 max from my 2.0

 

[Carlos]

I got 35mpg on my trip to JBS on the weekend. Most of the driving was between 70 and 80mph down the M1.

I have managed over 40mpg on a few trips, but it's so hard to do all the time. []
