A9H-RX Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Always averaged 18 - 22mpg in the TT zed. How ever done some steady driving @ 60 - 70mph up to Blackpool. Got 395 miles out of one tank which makes my new average 30.5mpg! Not bad going at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my colleagues say o god bets that's awful at the pumps but its only slightly worse than there 325is and C Class coupe's. Uprev gave me an extra 2-3mpg too!

StevoD Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 silly question will running VDC off use more fuel as i can usually get to and from ace cafe on half a tank yet i did a run from Cambridge to hitching and used the same amount of fuel which is about the 3rd of the milage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollowPoint Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I love when people talk about MPG, especially when they moan about it, lol. I have a 3.0 Twin Turbo 300zx, a 3.0 PETROL BMW 3 series and a 4.0 V8 P38 Range Rover, don't talk to me about fuel consumption!!!! lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I seem to have dropped from 30+ on a run to 22mpg. It's been this way for a few months now. Having a suspect dump valve that could be sticking does not help. But it's one hell of a drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Mine has dropped 8 miles on long runs. And it's very rare that I give it some wellie. I just like to poodle along in the inside lane listening to a bit of 60's rock and roll:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If mpg was an issue i'd own a diesel, but got to admit I save a fortune over the winter on petrol(never mind ware and tare) when I'm running my banger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
