lupogtiboy Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 In the 8 years or so of owning my GTI, I regularly get 180-200 miles-ish from 3/4 tank on v-power. Even now I'm up near 140k miles, she still averages around 30-35 mpg or upto 40 ish on a run. I generally run the rule of thumb of 50-70 miles per quarter of a tank.

Ryan.staples Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Sounds like you've got a problem then bud, unless supid means reasonably.Any ideas?I know the heat sensor plays up the one that goes onto the inlet manifold and I've had to take it off and clean it a couple of times. But other than that i dont know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My driving is 20 mile round trip each day to work and 15 miles of that is motorwayDo you not think that is a total waste? 20mpg in an Arosa? Why not buy something good -pretty much any hot hatch will use considerably less fuel that that, and have more than twice the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) For comparison to the Arosa, I borrowed a 2.0 tfsi Audi A5 with 7 speed dsg box, from work last week, and around town it was showing 20-25 mpg. I managed to get it up to 30mpg on a run to the coast!!I think my cousin gets around 25mpg from his mk5 Golf Gti Edited December 20, 2012 by lupogtiboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Averaged 26.6mpg in 30k miles in a E46 M3 driven pretty hard, mad if you get less than that from a lupo with half the engine size and almost a third of the power. Only a small 1.6 with not a huge amount of power in a light car so should be able to get 40+mpg easily, used to get 300-35 from a tank on longer trips and 250ish average.
