For every 10 degrees reduction in temperature you need 3% more fuel so cold weather isn't going to make much difference.

27 mpg from a GTI is about right, my 1.4 only does 33mpg average
I'd cry if i had a 1.4 and it only did 33mpg my 180's only 4mpg worse than that .

Sound a bit of a pansy if you cry over fuel consumption
33 mpg average is perfectly fine for the conditions I make my TU3 operate under

Between 10-14 MPG when hoofing round town for me
#39: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:37 pm ---- It costs me about £5 to give it the beans up and down the Hlome Moss pass wich is about 4 miles.

Summer temps are around 15-20 degrees, Current temp 0-5 degrees
there's 3% more fuel atleast there
I'm sure that will give around 3-5mpg worse off!!

If it has had a good service and tyre pressure are correct and your driving style is perfectly Eco then there is nothing else you can do.
Mattie- 5% more fuel used. At 27mpg = 1.35mpg less = 25.65mpg
#42: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: CommanderBrot, Location: WürzburgPosted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 2:50 am ---- I drive a 138 and I get between 32 and 37 mpg.
I know a GTI isn't one of the most economical cars out there but 27 mpg still is very poor - if driven softly! So in my opinion there's either something wrong with the car or with the style of driving...
#43: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 3:29 am ---- I always averaged 30mpg in mine. So 27mpg if doing slower roads or shorter runs is expected.
#44: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:44 pm ---- To be fair if I drive with economy in mind I average 36mog from the tank. That's never redlining it for fun, maybe the odd overtake.
#45: Re: Horrendous MPG from 206 GTI Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:30 pm ---- I get about 30mpg from my gt tdi, I feel as though driving costs a fortune no matter how you drive so I just like to enjoy it if i'm forking out for all of the costs.
