But you get more power so I don't care. Every little helps when you only have a little to start with
#20: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:08 am ---- Round the track my GTi averaged 16mpg.
I once had 40mpg traveling at 40mph for 20 miles with very low RPM and steady gear changes.
As others have said circa 30mpg is normal for day to day driving. Last edited by CD-B3 on Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:35 am; edited 1 time in total

My 2001 GTi was very good on fuel, seemed to just sip fuel, 280 miles on a half tank was my best (sat at 70mph on motorway) even though I was going on holiday so a lot of extra weight in the car which wont have helped.
I have been averaging 34-38 mpg over 120 miles in my 180, that was driving like a saint, changing gear at no more than 3000 rpm and block shifting from 3rd gear to 5th a lot, with a couple of blasts up to 100 on a section of dual carrigeway with 6 roundabouts in between.
Used to get 27-29mpg average when I first got it, but price of fuel has slowed me down a lot.

Unbolt fuel rail.
Have a friend turn key to position 2 and check injectors.
#24: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: LeeMaddern, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:38 am ---- at 50mph i can get 74mpg in my gti 180. not stright roads either, personally i loose mpg when i have my foot in a different possition.
on the 60mile round trip to my girlfriends, i got an avrage of 46.09mpg, which is a mixture between all types of roads including motoways.
and at this rmp and speed.
i got this
#25: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:50 am ---- That 74mpg is the current is it not? Not the average?
#26: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:14 am ---- irregardless of what you do on them backroads are a killer for fuel economy
i drive on one quite a bit in my diesel and it decimates my MPG
you 180 might ahve gotten that but thats cause it was a 120mile stint on the motorway. I bet the gti wouldn't be far off the same MPG in the same circumstance
#27: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:25 am ---- I get about 35 in my 2.0HDi
