BHP to MPG funny how things change

[grover]

Hi all,

I know its called getting old but it is funny how things change; you dont get these figures with a heavy foot!

Not bad for a 10 year old 148k estate eh!?

I think the light will come on within the next 20 miles or so...

That is realy good. Was the trip reset when you filled up the tank?

How many hills did you go down before you got nearly 70 MPG LOL Just kiddin
Still very impressive though

I have had 773 miles on a tank at best but I think 800+ is possible with more motorway driving (1.9 TDI 100 BHP remapped to 143)

I do think that this is plausible as I nearly got 700 Miles to a tank I must admit I was doing what I call "granny driving" I needed to fill up my car due to a long journey so I probably would have got 700 this was a Passat 1.9 100 bhp saloon at the time. I have not yet done it with the 130 yet.
