Hi,
I posted a question, a week ago about common faults on a Golf GTi.
I managed to Buy one,
I filled my gas tank up, and my eyes were spinning, as the price was
spinning.
From total empty, it went up to £45.00.
How many MPG's should i expect, as an average?

Thanks ;-)

Well, it's a 55l tank, so at 90p a litre 45UKP is filling up from near
empty (about 5l left). I get about 38mpg on a fast motorway run, 35 on
an A road dash, and 25-30 around town pootle. 40+ is doable, if tiresome.

I have a 1997 gti 16v with 112k on the clock. The computer shows average of
around 31mpg in winter and upto 34 in summer. Think that is pretty good as
I only do short journey's to work (about 4 miles). If driven very carefully
on a motorway can achieve over 40mpg (just).

My sympathies go with you. Whilst the Gti is a desireable motor to
have and no doubt is great fun to drive,in these times I'd tend to
compromise and perhaps get a Tdi. Mind you,i do have guilt trips about
treating myself (poor upbringing you see..) and so i tend to be a bit
of a tight wad.

Yep be thankful its a relatively small tank, I've been chucking fuel in
some cars lately where £30 = half tank :/
