Crusoe Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 12mpg from a tank is the best so far, average for last year was 26.1 not bad for a 343bhp high rpm petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammo Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) I can squeeze 49 quid in my tank and its only a lupo sport :S. Petrol was 136.9 p/l but i was really going for it. On that I can get about 360 miles.About 46 to the gallon Edited April 26, 2011 by Brammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammo Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Which figure? The MPG or the amount in the tank. BTW every single one of them miles was on the motorway .http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motoring/car-specifications/Volkswagen/Lupo+%281999-06%29/16246/Wisbuyers says the max is 54.3 I don't think that could ever be achievable surely.

I don't think I'd get any more than about 50mpg though even if I did drive it for economy. I'm quite happy with the 40mpg that I have averaged since I bought the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammo Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah that's good for a 1.6 petrol with 125 bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 im geting like 55mpg, and with todays fuel prices its all about mpg not bhp hahahaworrying about mpg is for people who talk through their nose, quote chassis numbers and talk about 'good value' when buying their new family hatchback.i tried buying a derv recently, i just can't bring myself to drive it, and it's ruining our driveway style, me and my dad have 4 cars, between them they have 30 cylinders and 17.5 litres...

Lmao at 'people who talk through their nose'. I completely agree with you on the Diesel front, we test drove lots of diesels recently and they're just not the same.
