town driving

[gazman]

TDi 130 sport

95% of my driving is a 4 mile stop/start commute to/from work with the weekly shopping trip thrown in

I only seem to be averaging low 32-34mpg

Is the right

PS - The loud pedal only gets pressed hard when I get the rare chance

boohoo lol

mines a 7-8 mile jaunt and im lucky if i see high 20s

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I get similar in my 130 tdi. Stop/start for 4 miles. More stopped than start. Don't even get full running temp up.

Same here

by time I get to work the heaters are just getting warm

Have to put my ski coat , furry gloves and snood on when driving in the car now

Bit extreme dude!

I wear a t shirt. No coat...no nothing. But then saying that - i didn't even take a coat or owt to work when it was literally freezing out.

It's cold in these damn hills

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Fair enough!

Mine will build up temperature if I keep the revs higher. Like 3kish. But i don't like driving continuosly like that.

you should have bought a 1.2 petrol and saved on the perchace price

4 miles start/stop is no place for a 130tdi

I have driven the 1.2 and is really punchy in the first few gears, really good round town sounds great also lol

My mum was given a 1.2 Ibiza as a courtesy car once - my GOD was it thirsty! Got through some serious fuel!

The 1.4 Ibiza tdi we had after that as a courtesy car.....that was a different story all together! Well pokey! Was great fun!

When you've owned an Impreza and done 4 mile start/stop, anythings better

Lol I only had it for one night as courtesy car aswell, but was very nippy when you needed it to be, mine felt slow when I got it back. Not sure about the fuel they gave me full tank ben back with half, we was out in it all night giving it thrashing lol only had 700 miles on it

Less than 6k from a Seat stealer, 53 plate 44k on clock

I stole from the stealer as he sold it as a Sport TDi 100 not the 130:

confirmed with 2 other stealers that I got the best end of the deal

Going on what you state above (highlighted in bold) - your TDi 130 sport is overkill !!!

Sell the car and buy a decent push bike instead, you'll get to your destination quicker (if the traffic is stop/start as you say), and help save the planet too!

...you'll also have a nice wedge of cash to spend on something that you WILL use more frequently, and will no longer need to ponder over 32-34mpg, and you will go from feeling to

Have a nice day!
