MPG why i love my new car :P

[vwpologti]

me and the girlfriend went to wales today there and back i was doing
60-70mph on the motorway,the trip there and back was 270 miles
and this is the mpg i did over the 270miles

 

[vwpologti]

sorry for people who dont know what car i drive its a seat ibiza 1.9tdi sport
130bhp remaped to 160bhp

 

[Scully]

5th Gear? Its funny when I drive down hill, in neutral doing 200 Mpg. lol

 

[vwpologti]

on the motorway i was in 6th gear most the time. that picture was
taken when i got home on the drive

 

[Nath.]

average 70.6

you must have coasted down some hills

bet you feel happy

how many gallons of fuel did you use to do the 270 miles, have you done the math's and checked it

 

[rashcupra]

i get that all the time take the 6 off the end and put the point in the middle thats what id of got but every car has its advantages

 

[rashcupra]

nath hes blowing the dust off of his calculator

 

[Nath.]

yeah, I don't trust the trip computer average thingy, they seem to get lasy on long trips and give figures that are too high when you do the math's

or maybe I'm just gutted

 

[vwpologti]

all i know is the car was on red light and said i had 20miles left,
so went to bp garage and put £30 in.

done the 270 miles and its still got over 1/2 a tank left

but thats wont last to long now as iv been giving it some when
i got home haha just testing my remap out

 

[vwpologti]

nath hes blowing the dust off of his calculator

haha yeah could do with a clean, thats what sundays are for

 

[rashcupra]

im a lead foot all the time (when in safe areas) so a diesel wouldnt give me enough benifits for me to get 1 anyway

 

[vwpologti]

if anyone wants to work it out feel free but im crap at maths and
have not got a calculator lol.

i know them trip things mite not be 100% but i bet its close as i was only
at 1.5-2.0k revs all the way there and back.

was not easy to do as i love going fast lol

 

[Nath.]

I must say the pd130 is a good engine and I would deffo have one if I was to do long trips in mine

as it is I don't think my FR has ever done over 200 miles on a round trip, that's why I got the petrol one

the company astra on the other hand does do mpg like that if I stick the cruise on 70 and sit there for 200 miles going to manchester from southampton

 

[vwpologti]

im a lead foot all the time (when in safe areas) so a diesel wouldnt give me enough benifits for me to get 1 anyway

well before the remap if i was to go out in my car and really give it some
iv never had less the 36mpg! and thats taking it close to redline!

but they dont sound as good as a petrol

 

[Tall-Paul]

sweet jesus! i dont think my engine will ever get to do that, i got 50mpg on the motorway then got bored n blew it all on the B roads lol

 

[vwpologti]

it took time to get that mpg but when you get there its easy
to keep it there as long as you take it easy!

but you do have OAP'S over taking you lol

 

[oli_c]

Nice one mate!!
Where abouts did you get those dial surrounds from? I'm not really a fan of my yellow ones!

 

[vwpologti]

hi mate,

you will have to ask pete the lad whos car it was before me as
he put them on the car.

ps nice colour car mate eclipe blue

 

[Mattyh87]

Lowest the trip computer has shown to me is a steady 6.8mpg after flooring it up a long hill on the motorway same PD130 with a remap

Although at 90 in 6th im getting near to 60mpg

 

[Poverty]

My petrol 1.4 sport dont get anywhere near that. I swear my car just somehow spunks 10 pounds worth of fuel in about 40 miles, although thats under high rev driving, it still seems a tad high.

Gettin tired of fuelling now, should have got a diesel.
