Quick question needs an answer!!

Ok - i do lots of miles in my car - cardiff to york regularly etc etc. Ive got an NA and reckon i'm getting about 36mpg at around 80 on the motorway. All you turbo owners - i may be joining you soon, but; what mpg do you get at that speed??

Thanks!!

when did you get a turbo mate?

[Mark Edwards]

On light throttle at that sort of speed on a motorway i can get 33mpg!

I love my motec

Thanks for the replies - so is it possible to actually get a fairly reasonable mpg with one then? My current car already seems to be costing me a fair bit in fuel!

I think Dale is just wishing like me!

I've averaged 32mpg at that sort of speed over 1000 or so miles.

it'll do

[poyntesm]

rev5 turbo engine...and I get about 32mpg on motorways...standard boost.

[Rev2_mike]

So is there any difference in ecconomy between the rev1/2 and rev3+ engines? Im sure i just read somewhere that somebody reckons the rev1 and 2 is much worse than later cars? Does that apply to the NA as well?

Just remember as soon as you get into town/country roads and start putting your toe down for roundabouts etc. the MPG heads south rapidly!

Sitting at about 80mph 250 - 300 miles per tank. Sitting at 90mph 300 - 350 per tank.

Strange, in every other car i've owned once you tip over the 85-90mph marker MPG drops rapidly.

For example, in my old MG ZR i could average 36 ar 85, i tried sitting at 90 and it'd drop to 33 or so. Same with the passat (just lower figures, heavy car).
