he's 22 with no NCB, any good insurance companies to try on an NA?

cheers :thumbs:

 

£900 with natwest, 1 year NCB decent area garaged

(no idea about MPG, seems perfectly reasonable to me, will be better than a TT though)

cheers for the info mate! :D

 

Right, here goes, it's not that hard sans calculator (mind you, that's setting myself up if I f*ck it up):

 

£20 of fuel at 80p a litre.

 

So that's 20/0.8, which is 25 litres.

 

25 litres lasts for 135 miles, so one litre lasts for 135/25 miles

 

That's 5.4 miles per litre.

 

I think it's about 4.5 litres to the gallon, so 5.4 x 4.5 gives the figure in mpg.

 

I make 5.4 x 4.5 = 24.3mpg

unless there was a problem with my car, it was stock and ran on optimax

Guest Rays the roof

Did a very detailed study on my NA and figures were as follows:

 

60 mph - 30.1mpg (normal unleaded), 31.8 (BP Ultimate)

70 mph - 24.1 mph (NU), 27.2 (BP U)

 

PM me if you want any further info at OTHER speeds.

 

As above with AC on - minus 5 mpg.

Roof off (presumably due to drag) - minus 2 mpg.

AIT resistor fitted - minus 2mpg.

 

All based on 216 mile round trip to Blackburn on M6 (not always a clear run!!) to see my daughters, which I do every fortnight ;)

 

So it's roof and AC off using Tesco's 'finest' and cruise at 70 ish or

Roof and AC on using BP U and well........

 

:devil: :thumbs: :devil:

I would agree with Jurgen, the NA's seem very juicy for their power comparisson to the TT's. What I have noticed is that the NA pretty much seems to drink the same amount of fuel all the time, whether your booting it or not, the TT probably drinks the same while on boost, but keep her off, and my TT can easily out drive the NA in the MPG war......
