hi everyone,what is the average mpg on a standard mk 1 rs. if driven carefully ?

Most members see somewhere between 30mpg and 35mpg on a mixture of urban and extra-urban, driving normally.

Book figures at the time of release were

urban 26.2 mpg

extra urban 44.1mpg

combined 35.3 mpg

I'm getting 36 at the moment 40+ on the motorway

Mine is below

there was a recent post about a hybrid turbo fitting and the MPG figures driving to the fitting and driving home after fitting and mapping were good. I will try and find it again.

thanks everyone for the information.

i got 38MPG in mine on a 350 mile round trip to goodwood. i worked it back with the litres i used versus the miles and it came to 37.8 so my trip is pretty close too

get around 32 on the trip to work if i use the car

On monday this week me and the missus went from Guisborough (Cleveland) to Kilmararnock (Bonny Scotland) in my Octy vRS to have a look at a Fabia vRS to buy for her.

We got 48 mpg going, that was over over a distance of 250 and the fastest we went was 80 on the motorway.

The guy who was selling the fabia vRS said he got 50 mpg out of it on a recent trip with 3 passengers....he looked gutted when we told him what mpg our Octy had just done.

When we got home our mpg had dropped to 47.5 mpg......but thats not bad at all considering we came back an awfull lot faster than we went

Ooooo, and I still have a fair bit of "V" power left

Bill.

PS. the fabia was carp :'( .....the search continues

48MPG???

Did you have Miss Daisy in the car by any chance?

48MPG???

Yes 48mpg

About once a fortnight I use the vRS for my 10 mile commute into work and I always get 39 - 40.5mpg and that from a cold start.

Befor the custom remap the best I could ever achieve on the trip to work was 39.6mpg.

Bill.

Mine averages 32 at the moment. I get 38 on a run from Bournemouth to Heathrow if I sit at 70 on the motorway.

Must have taken a looooong time to reach 21k

Bill.

mine gets 27mpg on a 7 mile trip to work each day, sort runs it's crap!, but my wife was getting 39-40mpg doing a 25 mile run to her work

Must have taken a looooong time to reach 21k
