05 Mk2 180 MPG - Page 2

Agree Pete, thats what I always thought, but it was noticeable in the Punto.

In the derv, I never noticed any difference, but thats got a bit more grunt to it.

Must admit though, I dont use the supermarket fuel very often.

Another possibility is that the ecu readjusts slightly to different fuels, which may be more noticeable on some engines.

It's called road trip. Can store a lot in it like services and mots etc but haven't bothered to set that up.

On a decent run where I'm not fussed about going too quickly mine would do mid 30's only ever once had it go to nearly 40 but I nearly fell asleep as was sooooo boring.
Around town according to the fuelly thing I get between 23/28 as a usual reading and it depends if I've been drivin more or the mrs.
Like I say though, on a run it will knock 36 on the app.
Still I never will expect it to be great on fuel, especially with the mods added as it just makes you want to hear that V6 growl.

Oh yeah! Got to add, the 40MPG was before the ITG and the decat!
But even so the mpg hasn't fluctuated all that much.

The dip before the 40 mpg was me in a hurry to go 150miles to my mrs's parents house one evening before the 230 mile trip to Norwich from Warrington to see her the next day.

makes the 350 bhp 700nm torque BMW 335D look great tbh. I can pull 640 miles a tank to 60 litres if I am good

that includes a 30 mile flat out trip to NL at 1...... mph

Incidentally I found 120 mph is actually only 2600 rpm on the autobahn

Low revving gearing that!
And it's a derv. Dervs don't count :P

And a far better, more modern fuel efficient engine in every way even for that ridiculous power and torque

Its the maddest car ever. Dervs do count

It will do 180mph apparently remapped. (mine is) sadly it would make a ZS looks so slow shame the engine had little to give back in 2001. by 2006 the cars were out powered
