Guest guiddruid Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Have any of you TT owners driven a 1.8 20vt Leon / Golf / Audi enough to get a feel for the difference in MPG? Approx personal mpg figures you have for both cars would be interesting. I am thinking of a Jspec TT as a daily driver (450 miles/week), and would like some idea of how many times a week I would be visiting the petrol station. Currently (almost exclusively motorway) I am getting 360 miles a tank out of the Leon - a little under 55 liter per fill. Somewhere between 33 and 36MPG. Fuel tank on a Jspec is bigger (70 liters?)... so I should get about the same range at about 26MPG. Don't suppose a UK-spec 80L fuel tank would fit? Probably can't buy them anyway...

Purity14 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Motorway or town traffic? You will be filling up twice a week at £70ish pounds. So you will be spending I think about £600 on petrol a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Obviously it depends how you drive, but MPG really isn't the Supra's party piece. If you have to ask... you probably can't afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Like they said, if mpg is a question whatsoever then a Supra isn't for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guiddruid Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 My commute is motorway... there's as much variability between drivers as cars though, which is why I was interested in people who had driven both. Well done on the 1st reply not being "if you have to ask you can't afford it":sly: I'm just not keen on spending half my free time on a garage forecourt... My other car is a 400ci American V8. That needs filling up twice a day. Think I would need to win the lottery to drive that daily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 in general i think your conciddered to be lucky if you get 26mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I would say budget for the Supra to return 20mpg motorway and other driving. I dont think I ever noticed my TT getting anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Fair amount apart I'd say, I have both, I'm down on coast today and I never took any of the supras because I wanted to save on juice, seat fuel gauge hardly moves compared to a supra.

danhicks22 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 The most I've got out of my J-spec TT is about 320 on a tank and that was hard work. I'd say you should hope to average about 25mpg for the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Autos are worse than manuals, but i'd reckon around 20mpg average for a manual TT for all round use, mid to late 20s mpg on a motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafan72 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I guess owning a supra you should not really care what it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 When i bought my jspec tt6 from scotland i drove it back to ireland (all motorway) on a full tank. I got about 400 miles to a full tank with my first fill of v-power, thats the most it has ever done. Driving it hard i've also had 175 miles to a tank.

Guest guiddruid Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Autos are worse than manuals Doh, good point. Should have mentioned it would be a manual. Suprab1; Sounds like 360 miles on a tank might be achievable on occasion then - 99% of my commute is motorway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 :dyou will find the tt supra pulling to the left every time you pass a shell or bp petrol station you will have to run it on the good stuff if you get a j spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formatzero Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 If your concerned about fuel perhaps an n/a would be your answer for motorway,not as much grunt but same great looks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my supra (a na auto) in milton keynes and drove it to edinburgh,nearly 370 miles on a tank of fuel ...all motorway averaging 70-80 most of the way.The needle was getting toward the empty,but I did another 40 miles before the fuel light came on.Not to bad for an auto me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guiddruid Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks guys - looks promising then... perhaps I can stop thinking about a fuel cell where the spare wheel should be / UK spec fuel tank etc. Will just see how it goes... Appreciate the N/A suggestions too, but I would miss the turbo kicking in too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 If your concerned about fuel perhaps an n/a would be your answer for motorway,not as much grunt but same great looks;) I cant say this is totally true, my n/a was worse on fuel than my TT engine and I had replaced the O2 sensors on the n/a, these are Motorway miles of course, when you plant it you can watch the fuel gauge go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
