IS your MPG the same as manufacturer

[tomo28]

Are you getting the figures quoted for your car ?

I'd like to see people posting the MPG they are getting ?

Ive created a website which documents alot of common cars supposed MPG figures from the manufacturer. See www.whatMPG.co.uk

post back on here what your getting compated with the stated

Ive got a Audi a4 1.9tdi (90bhp) and am acheiving 48MPG , i do quick long
runs 55 miles each way each day, but this is still less than what it should be
i think ?

Hi every one, this says the combined MPG of the Bora is 51... i find mine to be more like 38 - 43 with a mix of motorway and town driving. . .

Does anybody get more mpg from their 130? i dont drive it too hard... but feel I have to drive like my nan to get above 50 odd mpg ...

Thanks

God your not getting very good economy at all, that equate to the worst of figures.
my a4 post below the combined but much better than the worst figure quoted..

whats those bora's like to drive i though of getting one, they are much cheaper to buy
than the audi a4's and its the same engine in them.

The Bora's are REALLY nice to drive, and mine is the Highline so it has full leather, cruise, parking sensors, 6cd, 6 speed gear box, elec everything and iv also put 18'' RS8 alloys on it so it looks great and drives really nice.

The turbo sounds different on mine to my friends bora, but my local audi specialist says there are 3 makes of turbo on these and its luck of the draw which you have.. there is Garret, and 2 others which i cant remember the names of. I'm unsure which mine is , but i would deffo say the best of the 3 (touch wood). It whistles really loud bu nice, and the waste gate sounds great and at low revs (parking up etc) the waste gate / turbo etc chatters... which turns heads

i would reccomend a Bora ... i thought of an A4 but went for the Bora ... so..

Thanks for the reply!

[Cal_Bora_HLine]

thats worse than mine ... lol

i notice when i put my foot down though, the computer can read 6mpg

[lucianus]

) of course because the harder you work the engine, eg. up the hill or heavy pushing then more fuel is eaten :P

Passat 2.0S 130 petrol.
Not sure what the official figures are but mixed to motorway drive (mainly to work and supermarket ) 30mpg in the winter and around 32 in the summer. That was when I last checked doing a fill to fill. The trip puter says about 33 tops this time of year.

[Cal_Bora_HLine]

I think thats quite good for a 2.0L petrol ... my mums got a 1.8 volvo S40 (auto ) and it gets about 26 mpg combined lol

I'v started thinking of maybe get rid of the diesels and go for Gas converted VR6's . ..

This way, we can still eat the fuel and enjoy perfomance, while still returning 40 mpg!! (equivelant)

Good idea i reckon
