#1: What is your average MPG? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:55 am ---- I've recently got 170 miles out of half a tank town driving only, so that is about 31mpg
I tend to change gear at 2.5 - 3k, no engine mods
I am wondering if this is good for a 1.4 8v, and interested to know what everyone else seems to average
#2: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:57 am ---- 1.4 hdi with K&N and decat - 55mpg average with nearly no motorway driving

You can only really measure by how many miles you do then filling up and calculating it from how much you put back in the tank.
In the GTi I could get to 200 on half a tank but then it would flick the light on at 330... (£65)

#5: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Callum206, Location: West SussexPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:06 am ---- 1.4 8v Probably about 30 MPG the problem is i have terrible roads around me to drive on a lot of hills etc not sure how badly that would effect it.
#6: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:11 am ---- I get on average 34mpg in my 180!!! How can you guys be getting less in a 1.4?
#7: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:17 am ---- My figure was just from pure stop and start town driving, no dual carraigeways
Is yours counting motorways too Frankie?
#8: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:19 am ---- I have drove to silverstone and back, let idle for about 1 and half on full tilt with the sound system (so revs dipping etc)
And still have quater and an 1/8th left over
(1.4, lots of weight, decat, back box, 1.6 inlet)
#9: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:22 am ---- Yea Andrew my mpg is a mix of lane driving and town, can't believe the 1.4's only get 30ish around town, would have thought it was slightly more
#10: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:32 am ---- Yeah the 8 valvers are a bit retro lol
Was wondering if its just me and might have something up, its not so bad cruising in 5th on A roads and motorway though

My 1.4 is terrible, £30 strugles to get 200 miles, and thats after that fuel lights been on for the last 20 and im right down the bottom of the reserve on the gauge. The trouble with the 1.4s is it doesnt have the power for the weight of the car in the same respect yours does. So in the same day to day town driving with a steady right foot yours will do the same if not more miles to the gallon as its not being worked like the 1.4 is.
#12: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:40 am ---- I use fuel calculator and my average with engine mods etc is 45mpg
Dash comp says I get about 47 so not to far off, that's city driving and country driving no motorways

Yeah makes sense really mate, lovin the sig, it's one of my favourite ones out of the ones I've done
#14: Re: What is your average MPG? Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 5:46 am ---- I get the same in my 1.6 16v as i did in my 1.1 8v, maybe even more.

Yer it's why I want to go up an engine size. For the crap MPG it really doesnt justify the running costs/lack of power. Thanks mate
