#1: Looking for upgrade Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 3:58 pm ---- With a 1.1, a good 100KM will cost me no more than £10, probably £7-8 so economically it's very good but it is very underpowered that can't even reach 10 mph on 1st gear before changing to 2nd gear.
I'm quite on a tight budget with petrol expenses... anyone owner of 1.4 or 1.6 can let me know on how much they pay for petrol MPG or distance per litre?
Thanks
#2: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 4:03 pm ---- My 1.4 I seem to get 35mpg town driving, when I went to fast show my return journey (80 miles) was a about a fifth/sixth of the tank
Looking on parkers, there is not much difference in the economy, so I would go for a 1.4hdi or 2.0hdi
#3: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 4:06 pm ---- I dont know exact figures, because my mileometer doesnt work, but I work 8 miles away from home and a tank will last me a month (just before fuel light comes on).
And, I can get to Kent and back on half a tank.
I have a 1.6 btw

#10: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 4:16 pm ---- It's 33 miles to work and 33 miles home, so 66 miles a day in a gti 180 lol

#13: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: Matt, Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 4:53 pm ---- I get roughly 150miles for the £30 a week I put it (around half a tank.)
Mine is a 2002 1.4 8v.

Lool that would be impossible with Peugeot 206 1.1... at 10MPH it is at 3000-4000 revs. 30 MPH on first gear will be nice Fast start...

#16: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 5:33 pm ---- You'd be near the redline at 30mph in first gear

Well yours perform better than mine for some reason although we got same model and engine size. At 10MPH is at 3000 and 20MPH at 5-6000. I won't bother 25MPH + on first

Ouch, whats that the best part of 2 and a half gallons a day in fuel?
My 1.4 seems to be s**te on the stuff, think I need to change the fuel filter, hasnt been changed in at least 28,000 miles. Hate to think of the colour its gonna come out at.

No idea as what ive said, the engine hasnt been serviced for at least three years lol.
On a full tank, the first half goes down really quick, it feels like its only 100 miles, but the second half seems to last forever lol.
Im not complaining though, I only spent about £60-£70 a month on fuel

Seems to be the other way around for me the first half from full to half I seem to be able to around the world on it. However under half I seem to be able to do 1 lap around the mcdonalds drive thru and the fuel lights on. But saying that the places I go are constant hilly backroads so the rev range does get used quite a bit.
#27: Re: Looking for upgrade Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 11:08 am ---- Ah, its all flat round here
I rarely go over 4k revs either, unless I want to overtake something or im going up a hill.
