This open to all MK2 owners of all engines... whats the most you've got out of a tank of fuel in a mk2 Ibiza?

My 2.0 8v just did 383.8 miles on a tank of super from the off click on the pump until the needle was on the bottom red line of the fuel guage.

I had 45 litres in the tank so 38.38 MPG average and thats with the usual blast out of work once warmed :D.

Edit: Did average 40.0 mpg over 1,000 miles last summer, not sure how many miles per tank that equates to!

ermm 200-220 :(

will find out at the weekend

i'm with you, my journies are not exactly mpg efficent lately - not bad on a run though

did see a 85+mpg on screen a while back for 1/2 a mile, but resetting it on fly and slipstreaming no throttle is cheating - looked impressive for about 10 sec though lol

Maf reads around 75mpg with the tunning box fitted and reads about right without it fitted.

Ant.... were you DRIVIN' MISS DAISY??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

Driving down a mountain pass while seriously low on fuel! coasting whenever I could, for about 50mins. still managed to despatch our friends who were following us in the van though - the more speed i carried through the corners, the less throttle i needed on the straights!;)

I managed 41.5 mpg on the way to Loughborough earlier, and 29.2 on the way back just now.
Always seems to happen that way when the roads are quiet......

anything form 400-600. I got 600 whilst purposefully driving sensibly. Down to 400 at the moment maybe less as iv'e been doing alot of rushing about the place on b roads with lots of overtakes and sharp corners to navigate. The joys of tdi :p

i just got 500 odd miles to a full tank, some sensible driving but i do have to admit i have a bit of a lead foot and the boyfriend who can also drive it is worse than me!! lol!! not bad for a free tank of fuel either :D

I agree . . . the joys of having a TDI!
