Lbm Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ok Iv'e got a '93 TT 6-speed J-spec, non BPU. (aftermarket zorst & airfilter) Filled up - £60 ish... I live in Waford, did a run up to Derby @ 60 leps (), with one passenger and a car full of music gear - Bass amp , cab , guitar, stage lighting set...etc etc (inc. singer's make up bag and costumes...jesus!) 300miles there and back. Then unloaded and 2 days later, round trip Watford-Wimbledon including chasing F430 up the A3 (HE WAS BEING A GAYLORD...BECAUSE I KEPT UP) 90 miles + 30 miles drivng her to..well anywhere... 430 miles in total... Any takers? Or should I drive immediately over beachy head for this kind of poor news reporting behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike B Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 you have cheap fuel, or a smaller tank.. i can squeeze 80 quid in mine. I'd be stunned to go as far as you though. I tried it once ant got around 33mpg at 70. I had 90 miles out of 70 quid at marham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSupTT Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I get on average 225miles from £60 and thats not putting my foot down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I managed 300 miles on about £60 last week.... cruise control limited to 66mph is a god send on long journies if you want to save some fuel Normally just about crack 200, but that includes a lot of town driving to work.

Jamesy Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Filled up - £60 ish... 430 miles in total... Thats good mate - roughly 14p a mile. I can do the same in my Jspec TT on a motorway @ 70mph too...its just when you go round town it doesnt stay that low on pence per mile!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your getting near enough 200 more miles than me, makes me VERY jealous : I think my o2 sensor may need replacing as i think its running a bit lean but still, 200 miles more than me!

kieren1234 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Just stick the O2 sensors into a lemon for 24 hours, supposed to work a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around town its nice to have a blast and stuff.... i have ordered a new O2 sensor as well which should be arriving from Japan today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I once drove back from the Nurburging on 3/4 of a tank. I've also done 190km to a tank of optimax. Cars are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
