That is very impressive what that guy got out of his Citigo. When I go on longer journeys I brim the tank and depending on how late I leave it can put 50 litres in + on empty my car has a 7 litre reserve so that’s about 58 litres. I travel at night and I wouldn’t subject my car to hot weather with a grill block. Also my recent trip I had a make shift grill block and kept an eye on temps and they all where within the normal area. My intercooler is at the bottom of my car. I get where yr getting at with coolant and oil temps but as the nights tend to be cooler then the days I’d try and plan around the hot days/nights. Thx for the link to the Citigo thread and the hypermiler website. I should have added when I go on my longer journeys I go and do stuff at those places and just so happened to want to go to Scotland for a little holiday. When ever I need to go north again I’ll take tips from the hypermiler website.

Hi. I recently did a test trip up to John O Groats where I averaged 71.22 MPG and managed to do 839.5 miles to a tank. During that run I had the car loaded with stuff plus I overtook some vehicles on the A9 past Inverness. I want to see if it’s possible to get close to 900 miles with out a remap. The only problem is I would have to achieve a avg of 76.36 MPG in my petrol 1.2 110. I’m gonna be increasing my tyre pressures from 2.6 bar (38 psi) to 2.8 bar (40 psi) so I get less rolling resistance. I’ve also got a grill block on order to help with the aerodynamics of the car. I did 80 miles on empty up in the highlands plus once off the motorway it’s all stop start, roundabouts, a lot of hills and tourists so i recon I could some how squeeze out close to 900 if the weather and traffic plays nice. Im gonna be doing 2 test runs soon, one which includes a round trip with E10 approximately 860 miles and then another test with E5 which should hopefully bring me closer to 900 miles if not past it. With the 2 trips I have planned I’ll be going to the End of the M9 motorway just where it then turns into the A9 at that roundabout. I’d then turn around and make the trip back down south.

It was all done on E5 99 from Texaco.

New PB on range and MPG for me. Just did a eco test trip to John O Groats to see what I could get on a tank of petrol in my 1.2 110 TSI and I managed to squeeze out 840 miles to a tank and on empty I managed to drive 80 miles in the Scottish highlands. Plus I managed to get a avg mpg of 66.6 since refuelling. After brimming the tank I calculated that I did 71.3 mpg since refuelling. On the way up I managed to get on the trip computer what Skoda claim u can do on the motorway, 68.9 mpg which I was very happy about. This was just a test trip as I did overtake a couple vehicles on the A9 there and back from John O Groats. I could definitely do better and go further had I not gone up so far in Scotland. I pumped my tyres up to 2.6 bar (38 psi) but I think u can get these up to 40 psi so on my next trip gonna do that. Wonder what u guys have managed to do.

Gonna try at the end of the month to see what I can scrape out of a tank on a long eco trip.

I managed to keep my overall avg MPG up to 57.4 and managed 614 miles to a tank. This is a photo after I filled it up before setting back off.

It was a 1.2 110 TSI 2016.

Hi all, just wondering what’s yr best MPG that you’ve gotten. This is the best I achieved at one stage in my 110 TSI manual hatch. I was going to the coast in the lakes so had the car up to 65-66 mpg for most of the journey until I turned of the M6 and went across the mountains. At one stage on the motorway my car reckoned it could do over 800 miles to a tank of petrol. That was with some drafting off Lorries and very light foot work. I went M3-M25-M1-M6-M6 Toll-M6. There was a problem on the M40 and the 2 quickest ways where either going to wales and up or the other route. The 64.6 MPG is what I got when I arrived at my destination.
