No. Controlling your right foot/driving style/resisting temptation to boot it will all effect your fuel economy.

^What he said

I get about 75 miles to £10 and I have an induction kit

I can get 200 to £20 or 50 to £20........its all in the way you drive bro. Change gears at 2k use higher gears when you can accelerate slowly.

Won't make any difference... Well perhaps if you realy wanted to go into detail you might get an extra mile or two, but tbh it won't do bugger all. As stated your right is the best petrol saver

I once wasted £15 in under an hour. That was good fun.

The brakes were giving off so much heat you couldn't even touch the alloys.

haha, when i done that on my old golf i had to sell it because the brakes were faded lol, tried new pads but they were still shit

as for MPG i get 80 from £10 and 180 for £20 one off though

my average is 70 from a tenner and 140-160 in £20

[Amjad]

XPS420 that's really good! I thought auto's were crap on fuel?

[addz]

35 to the last tenner I put in, swear I wasn't driving her that hard. Well maybe a little but it was mostly town driving

[Raz]

i though my MPG was shit lol but reading these makes me re consider my thoughts. but no were as good as the diesel golf lol

[redz11]

im getting about anywhere between 80-110 on a tenner at the moment, i only put the boot down when the engines warm otherwise if i do it when its warmin up my petrol gauge goes down quick

[redz11]

haha, it was early i`d just woken up but yeah the cars being really good on fuel for me

[Sparky]

XPS you must be still in km's if your getting better mpg than n/a's?

[Raz]

yea, thats what i was thinking lol. a tenner last me only one day an i do 70 i don't know if that is 70 miles or KM

[Sparky]

Is your clock in mph or kms?

If it reads in mph but only goes upto 120mph then its still reading in kms

[Raz]

it's got MPH sticker on it not been converted

where can i get the stupid converter is it different for Auto box?

[Sparky]

Thats 70kms then, thats appauling

[Raz]

holy shit lol that makes it like 44 miles in a tenner LOL so max 90 miles from £20 lol

[Sparky]

I used to get about 60kms to a fiver. But petrol was slightly cheaper, not alot though

[Amjad]

Lol makes me feel a bit better

[Raz]

well, makes me cry but think it is worth it lol
