paceo 22 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 my golf vr6 seems to be very good on fuel! just wondering how many miles to a full tank do you get?regards :-) Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Its hard to tell because it depends on how low people run their tanks before filling up... mpg shows better... i get around 25-27 around town and on long runs 30-32.Generally i run my tank into the red but not to the very bottom and i get anything between 250 and 280 miles depending on the type of driving i have been doin.What are you getting?

craggsy 91 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I aimed at 250 miles to the tank before filling up on the vr. The R at the moment gets about 280 Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 How much to fill the tank craig on the R. Seems like you get quite good mpg considering your turbo'd Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Mfa is rarely right. 35mpg is 420 miles to the tank and I can't see that.Tank is 12 gallons Link to post Share on other sites
b19drg 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Just done a long run aprox 250 miles to a tank from full to just into the red . Link to post Share on other sites
Ian_rogers 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I fill up after about 230 miles, don't trust the gauge as heard some vr's can run out when 1/4 is still indicated...... Scared to go below 1/4 now lol Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 i got about 280 out of a tank when the needle hits the red from a brim, this was with what i now know was a duff maf, i havent done a good run from full to empty with my new maf yet, but the mfa indicated mpg has gone up by about 4mpg in all driving situations. i never saw the maf go over 29 before on motorway now it will go to about 38, while i know it isnt really 10mpg better i would hope to see more out of a full tanki fill up as soon as the needle hits red Link to post Share on other sites
andynick69 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I did a 260 trip at weekend and got nearly 38 on a run on motorway,put 60 quid in and ive still fot a 3rd of a tank,im happy with that!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 About 220 for me most of the time. Averaging around 23mpg it seems.....Have seen 36mpg on the motorway but was driving like an old fart to see it, but the higher it went the further I tried getting it lolMark.

Antihero1981 8 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 to work out the best power/weight balance i usually fill 3/4 tank which is about 35 quid and i get usually about 130miles in my charge vento around the town Link to post Share on other sites
Gazbarber1982 3 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 131 miles takes me from full to the brim to quarter of a tank. I go no lower due to Walbro fuel pump not being sat in the bottom of the tank. On motorway runs I get 160 miles. Doesn't sound much but it only costs me £40 to fill her up with V-Power ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 17 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I get about 300 ish to a tank with normal use, havent really tested it on the motorway yet ( or should l say l cant remember) but would think it would be better Link to post Share on other sites
