Hi all, just wanna find out if my vrs is a drinker or is this how all vrs's behave... My vrs is remapped to 175bhp and £15 of diesel gives around 50-60 if driven hard... 65-75 if driven smooth with here and there boosts and 80-85 if driven below 2k (where my boost kickes in) am i expecting too much from my car or does this sound about right? What do you guys get for £15 diesel?

Btw this is with diesel at 145.9

Thanks

Could you post mpg figures? Saves us all trying to do various math exercises lol

Best stop there.

If these are the figures you're getting with 175bhp, then the answer to your post is ...... economical.

If these figures are a disappointment, time to walk :think:

my standard sdi would get about 140 miles from £15

£15 = 2 gallons of derv.

Should see about 80 miles in normal driving.

Haha matt i would have thought almost everyone would have atleast tried the simple method of stopping at a petrol station topping £15, resetting the onboard mileage calculator and see how long you can go lol

You need a fixed point of reference, the easiest way to do that is brim it, drive till you need to fill up and brim it again, only then is it worth manually calculating the mpg figure per tank and ideally over at least 3. Using a fixed £15 value on something that is subject to daily price changes and varies by anything up to 8p a ltr nationally is going to make any meaningful comparison pretty hard.

That's the way I do it too, then whatever you put in is exactly how much you used since the last fill up. No need to run it to empty as however much you use it is always going to be the amount you have to put back in to get it to full. I note down the trip reading and how much I put in then zero the trip each time I fill up then do the sums when I can.

If you reset the mileage calculator on stalk rather than the dash then you reset the mpg report too - just scroll through and have a look

anything around 50 is good anything less is bad anythign above is great

Cold starts affect it greatly. As it takes ages to warm up.

I was commuting 15-18 miles each way. Stuggled to get over 48mpg on the way to work.

Long term average of 48 or above is reasonable IMO.

Short runs are a killer for diesel MPG, at this time of year they take many miles to warm up, even worse if they are around town. The same is true of petrol though, but at least they warm up quicker. I get 12 MPG out of the V8 Audi on my daily commute, however on a longer run it can be as high as 30MPG.

Hello I was having the same problem with my vrs so put some diesel cleaner in first then a full tank of fuel, and mpg as gone up. Try that

My average is normally around 33-25 at the moment, mainly due to a short 12min commute. In the summer it goes up to 36-40mpg. However on a nice run it'll easily do 50+ mpg so don't panic if everyone says you should be doing 50mpg it's all about the type of driving you do.

I hardly use mine and best I get round town is 40. Did notice when the car was being used more the other week by the missis :S commuting from Belper to derby as worked out cheaper on fuel it got into the 50s when I came to use it. I only drive it at night and weekends as have work van. Prob furthest run is 8mile round trip wen it is used. the test will be the run to lemans in June. Will be interesting to see with cruise what it'll get.

I did a trip upto the Lake's the other week and was running 4 up most of the week after driving up fully loaded.

Before I set off back home after driving around all week (roughly about 180miles around the Lake's area itself) this is how it looked on the clock's

Now I'm back home and driving to and from work which is rather a short distance being 10 miles in total, the car is now nearing 500miles from the tank and is just showing around a 1/4 left so just goes to show how short distance's can kill your fuel usage.

LOL the other day i had to do a trip to bristol and back from birmingham with a little city driving after, i topped the car to just under 3/4 up and covered 270 miles until i had to juice the b1tch up again :/
