Holden1989 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 250 miles on £30 thats superb I happy with 250 from a tank Tell me about it, it was a nice change to not drive the tt and be stopping 3 times in a journey Pics of the New Wheels? Pics will no doubt be coming at the weekend, swapped the headlights to refurbed ones aswell so want to get a overall pic 250 miles on £30? How on earth did you do that! Constant speed of 70-80mph, apart from when i bumped into Adnan (i think it was him) when he so lovingly baited me on the M1, i must admit that was the only time i cried for the TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's a bit hard to believe. I get about 250 from a tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden1989 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's a bit hard to believe. I get about 250 from a tank It was constant motorway, M4/M25/M1 with a mile either side You had 16" wheels on before right? Yep 16's were on in the beginning, but at the moment its got 16's on the front and 18's in the back, tyres were shot on the 16's so thought might aswell buy a nice set of 17's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Congrats, its nice to experience ones car and get decent fuel consumption when just taking it easy. When I picked up my TT I did Aberdeen to Notts with cruise set at 70mph with the odd burts to over twice that to put a German tailgaiters in their place. Mananged this on 1 tank plus a few sips from a fresh tank (unoticed on fuel gauge) so that probably cost me about £85. Quite happy with that!

Homer Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 So it's your car now then Kayla? Really must get my NA on the road as that's better fuel economy than I get from the Mondeo! Did you go for the stock 17's in the end? If you did they are going to look a hell of a lot nicer than the 16's, those always look tiny. Did Rob get the headlights sorted out okay in the end?

No - (near enough) I had to drive the TT through slough today, and hated every minute of it Yes - The mondeo is an old mans car!! Yes - They're massive!! Couldnt even get a rear in the boot! Yes - After lots of swearing and a foul mood all night, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 125 miles each way and it made it with £30 of petrol Thats very good consumption. When i went to France my supe done 30 mpg. thats 10 liters for 62 miles. - Driving 60 - 70 mph Thats mean your supe done about 40mpg - 7.5 liter for 62 miles Grats.

Meko Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i wouldn't mind getting that.. £75 of BP's finest super unleaded and i got 350 miles - and that's in an N/A doing mainly motorway miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Very good. The Germans got around 120 miles from a tank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaseMonkey Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) I managed to do 260 miles approx with 2 of my mates on a trip to Santa Pod and only cost about £40 in fuel. Like Heckler, "never went above 70, no hard acceleration". I used the cruise control and had the A/C on as well (and being boring, checked my tyre pressures, lol) . It's odd, but nice considering it's an Auto TT. But when its driven on short trips/ locally, it drinks fuel, lol.

Kevan Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That's very good. On a long motorway cruise I can manage about 350 miles from a tank but that might be because I only see 70 briefly as the needle passes on it's way to 130 (kph) K.
