Clearly HDI is the way to go for good fuel consumption then.
At least if I ever upgraded to a 180, my fuel consumption would be nearly the same lol. Wouldn't be too much of a shock.

You need to find somewhere cheaper to fill up.  |
Wheres the cheapest in Evesham..? I won't use the one up by the Police Station and only fill up at Tesco or Morrisons.
It's not long now till the SW is on the road so roll on the diesel and 500+ miles. |
At £60 fill up that is very expensive petrol at I would guess £1.25+

My previous car was a 1.8 petrol in which I did ~14k/year, now i do ~20k/year.
You soon learn how to have a much lighter right foot in order to save yourself literally hundreds of pounds over the year. It's not all about what speed you do, it's how you get to it, and how you control it. I don't speed alot but by no means but I don't do 50 when I can do 70 legally either in order to save a few quid.
When I went up north I got ~575 miles out of a full tank, and did the 350 miles on the way back in just over 6 hours, so not exactly slow either.

My car is a 1.9 diesel so it doesn't make much sense I dont think. And its costing me a fair bit to keep this up!!!
Does that information change if its good or bad?

I find that the first 1/3 of my tank goes really quick, and then makes up for it on the last 2/3's.
I've just bought my 180 GTi and I struggle to get 300 miles out of a full tank. In fact, last full tank ( brim to just as the fuel light came on ) was 260 miles.
