Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
26mpg is pretty shocking really, do you do a lot of town driving? my 16v makes around 32mpg with a mixture and my old 8v was high 30's early 40's
I easily better that on a remapped 1.8t Mk3 so you might have problems, either that or you are using your throttle pedal as a switch, on or off! LOL.
I'm sure that there is a hose somewhere on the 8v that if split reduces the MPG.

Anything up to 400 miles from a tank of super on a long run.
A split crankcase breather pipe will reduce MPG as Peter says.

It costs me about £36 to fill up and I get about 240-260 miles to it. I don't drive it that nicely.. and it's the down driving that seems to kill it.

About 300 miles for £40 is about right with average driving.
I just work it out like so:
eg.
£10 = 100 miles
3/4 of which is 75 miles
So £40 = 400 miles
3/4 of which is 300 miles
norm

my mfa is showing average 20.3
tank takes 45L of optimax and so far done 165 miles and just below a 1/4 and the lights on
be lucky if i see 200
but that is just town/traffic driving 85% of the time and a quick blast about here n there when theres time / space
i swear i did in mine too a while back but had to drive to blackpool and back to do it
I can get anywhereup to 350 miles depending on how i am driving it, sometimes down around 250 if i have been giving it some. Do a bit of stop start in traffic to and from work though. Doesn't the mpg counter thing reset after every trip, mine always starts back at 0 every time i get in it so its always different depending on where im going.

i've had mine since january and i've averaged 33-34mpg until now. that was mostly town driving but for the last month i've had a 25 mile each way motorway commute duing the week.
With the switch on the wiper stalk in position "1", the MFA readings reset after the engine has been off for 2 hours. With the switch on the wiper stalk in position "2", MFA readings reset when you reset them or the counters overrun.
I generally average 35mpg to 37mpg on regular unleaded - so that'd be about 380 miles to 400 miles if I ran it dry (bear in mind that while the tank is 45l, there's a certain amount of capacity in the fuel lines and the filler neck). I don't do a lot of town driving or short trips. Motorway economy seems to drop off seriously if I start cruising above 80mph.

37 like i said before on a private motorway journey at 75/80
25-35 normal town driving which i do most of

Most of the driving I do is in the town, I’ve yet to take it for a decent motorway drive, but might take a long trip this weekend and see how it goes.
The oil temperature seems to fluctuate a bit too. After driving a while it’ll sit steady at 78’c, about ½ on the needle, then it’ll suddenly drop to about ¼ showing 70’c on the MFA. As you can probably guess, I’m fairly useless at anything mechanical
