And i only had to fill it up yesterday - 570 miles later

i knew i should have bought a diesel years ago

I fill my Tavia vRS up regularly. Bu then again I've got 230+bhp so horses for courses

My SEAT is now on 480 mile and 3/4 of a tank :(

Get a remap, HONESTLY you will get even better MPG when driving as you normally would & more fun when you need it

Yesterday I did 500 miles in my Octy TDI at an average of 59.1 MPG.

For the first time I hit 600 miles on a single tank of fuel , and I still had 20 miles range left according to the trip computer.

So... i make that (in comparison to a Octy vRS) at least 200% economy and about 90% real world performance?

You may well be onto something there.

Now if only I could find a PD130 to replace my 110 for the right price.....

110+Jabba map equates to 164 bhp & loads of torque, average driving including Motorways at 85-90 equates to about 54 mpg

As for performance, will give 135 on the clock & will out acceleratethe small TT's which I think are 180bhp

Cheaper than a 130 engine change

:wave:

Anyone genuninely interested in performance isn't bothered by fuel economy...it's a sacrifice that's made.

Likewise, anyone who buys for economy wouldn't think an average of 60mpg is all that great. Not from a diesel anyway... :P

But what if you want a high performance car but are too tight/skint to pay for it?

Fabia RS - niche market leader originally.. but now everyones after a slice

Then you buy a budget car with sporty badges stuck on it...

Well, yes, apart from the Golf GTI PD, which I believe was the first "diesel performance car"...

What you want is an "SDI"

I used to have one of those and it itched like ****.

Nah, that's an STI

Itchy Impreza???

I wouldn't expect more than 145 after a remap , which seems to be about what the PD130s put out.

With a PD130 I'd also have the six speed gearbox and cheaper insurance than a remapped car , plus it would give me an excuse to change cars after mine eventually gets fixed.

so you reckon you can get nearly 1000 miles from a full tank. :eek:

i might be wrong, but i thought these diesel engines were pretty similar in theses cars. id like to know how slow you drive in your world. :confused:

even though my octy is lowered, and got 17" rims, im still getting between 500 and 570 from a tank.

I can get higher mileages after a longer drive, I stick to around 65 to 70 and I don't wear shoes if I drive long distance as I have found that it does make a difference to economy.

I can do for example home to Carlisle and back on 1/2 a tank with the vent trick a round trip of 376 miles, therefore a theoretical range to empty of 752 miles. I will get pictures the next time I do
