I added last weeks holiday fuel to my www.fuelly.com records at lunch time.

https://www.fuelly.com/driver/talkin...s-2?fu=4921350

As I have no clocked up 10k on the car (in a year) I flicked through the entries, of the 48 entries there are 6 at under 20mpg. Conversally there are 7 at over 30 mpg. Average is 27.3MPG.

With the same car the previos owner covered 6k, never acheived 30mpg and managed to get down to 16mpg on one tank full. Their average was 27.3.

My mk1 averaged 25mpg over 18 months.

Outside temp must be the issue , its getting hot now and outside temp is around 27 degrees already. I plugged my OBD reader in and got an app to read the data. Air intake temp was around 48 degrees and dropped to 45 when driving...

Im going the induction root anyways so ill mount it in the front bumper and see what difference i see in temps

My induction mod worked well in Spain, year before I saw 60' on the scangauge, year after we were getting 5' above ambient when driving.

Fuel consumption is similar to at home.
