I went to Cardiff for a short weekend break with a lady friend and i did a fuel economy experiment. Doing driving miss daisy mode i got 410 miles from a full tank in my SWB jap import TT :hyper: However to get that and for the boost pressure needle to stay on bottom i really had to take it easy and do about 65mph on average on the A roads and motorways lol.

 

Vigorous driving on a motorway run normally gets me 290 miles.

That's not bad matey, you're talking about 29/30 to the gallon from a TT!

 

I've got an NA and driving in "Miss Daisy" mode i've got 36mpg at a steady 65mph cruise control to newquay.

Motorway mileage is great. I have returned 34mpg from Cornwall to Somerset. Just need to keep it out of positive boost :)

but you have an NA :nelson: :rofl:

I usually get about 200 miles to a tank.

i was always to skint to put a full tank of fuel in :rofl: ,used the car weekends only and burnt the optimax of in about 5miles of driving or 160mph run depends which came sooner :D

but you have an NA :nelson: :rofl:

 

Let's just say the revs never really dropped below 4.5k for most of the way and if i had been spotted by the police i wouldn't have my liscence now lol :D :D :nelson:

Bet place to drive fast is the motorway! Used to manage about 300 to a tank driving from bristol to Cornwall. Now I'm lucky if I get 200 using it for work in Tunbridge and Maidstone :(
