Lukus 9N Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hmm.. sounds like something is up, mine was a standard and getting 200-240 like most others.Take it to your garage and let them have a look, it might be worth it in the long term.

cardaft Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 So you only get 150 miles from a full tank?They do use fuel quite well though, im alwasy amased when i go back to my 1.0 after my TDi you can just watch the fuel gauge drop when doing 70. What kind of driving do you do? Town/motorway? Do you drive it hard?Had it had spark plugs, air filters, fuel filter, service recently?

I do drive it quite hard... as any 18 year old does *grins*... but the driving is mostly in London, stop/start etc, down to Woolwich, up to Greenford quite often, and around various points in Central London for work. But it just seems to drink alot... for a 999cc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgarf Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 i get about 150-190 miles a tank(£25ish) i think thats good compared to the old s3 where i got about 270ish for £60 of fuel, really must not use the accelerater as a on off switch !

shaunandez Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 £20 got me 95 miles today on motorway/country lanes...sound about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukus 9N Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Not exactly, you should get about 10p a mile was my old rule of thumb.£20 = 200 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoGirlRacer Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Not sure how many miles per tank, but on the last fill up it worked out to be 39mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niche Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) £20 = 190 miles in my Sport. Which is about right as the GTI's aren't much more fuel consuming.I think we should be comparing the amount of miles done to the amount of litres you put in the car rather than the price as its going UP. If you said £10 a year ago then you would be getting around 210-240 miles for a GTI as fuel prices were much cheaper back then.10 litres = xxx miles (anyone done there fuel consumption in litres?)-N- Edited January 30, 2008 by Niche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Now fuel is so much more you will be lucky to get 200 miles from £20 as that would mean you had to do more MPG than before.My 1.0 used to do £20 = 200 miles but not now prices have gone up. That used to work out to about 42MPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1.0e Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Just filled my 1.4 Sport, 35litres of V power 268.3 miles no fuel light though, I thought Lupo's only had 34litre tanks how accurate do fuel pumps have to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I regularly fill my lupo with 40 litres. I think there's some kind of air expansion tank you can fill with petrol (although not sure it's supposed to get filled). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I regularly fill my lupo with 40 litres.And how many miles does that see you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijay Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I got it serviced today, and they said theres nothing wrong... 7 miles to a litre from a 1.0E and theres nothing wrong? Hmmm, I need to go to a different garage. You kno them ones where, because they know they'd have to pay for it, they say theres nothing wrong? I took her wheeltrims off today, she looks like a little stealth bomber!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 And how many miles does that see you?It's difficult to say, depends on journeys and how low I take it etc, 280 is fairly good, been seen to hit 300 before but it's usually about 260ish.Apart from that one time I drove in particular way to get 400 out of the tank.

Niche Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Quoting the book a Lupo's petrol tank is approximately 34 litres. So if you ask me I don't know where your putting the other 6 litres. Either that or your getting bummed on 6 litres.Sorry but a 1 litre can be worse on fuel economy than say a 1.2 because on the motorway you have to keep your foot pressed down more just to keep up to speed.-N- Edited February 2, 2008 by Niche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you ask me I don't know where your putting the other 6 litres.I regularly run my petrol guage past the red and past the zero line. I havent yet run out of fuel, but the most ive managed to put in before is 37.5 litres and that was up to the top of the filler neck. Id assume you could probably get a bit more if you fill up the expansion chamber if they have one? Or its just coming out of the vent line and your not noticing a puddle on the floor!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Nope, it's all going in. Look for a pressure release valve on the right of the filler neck (the cap presses this in when you replace it). Hit this with the filler nozzle a few times when you've filled, and keep squeezing a bit more in. You should be able to get 40 litres in, just.

Although saying that a lupo sport is about the same revs at 70ish, its just there is a little mor epower but the sports are very very similar on fuel to 1.0s.
