It can be done!, I let SWMBO drive to my parents this weekend (been out on the lash the night before so she more or less had too!). I could not believe the average 35.8mpg she got on the 75 mile trip. I drove back and tried my hardest to get somewhere near it and only managed 28.4mpg :eek: .

35.8, seems pretty darn good to me! Very respectable.

Not bad at all, I'm getting 27mpg from my remapped Fabia or should that be :thumbdwn:

It'll be because she has smaller feet.

............and less of a thirst for speeeeeeeeeed!. :P

It's because she is a woman!!!!!! Of course!!!!!

maybe you still had bleary eyes from the night before and you read it wrong , and if it was correct she still used a tenners worth of fuel , sorry i'm used to getting 50 plus mpg in my fab VRS , but it does sound like she has a very light foot

us females are jsut good like that!:P

Thats impressive, I only manage 40mpg in my 2ltr tdi.

Ladies - Good on fuel bad on clutches.

I got 35 mpg going to Mayo over the weekend on a 160 mile trip, to be honest I thought I'd get a little more, I had 5 people. One of the days we took a spin to Seaweed baths near in Sligo and average 38 mpg with 2 people in the car. We weren't exactly taking it handy either .

As a matter of interest does Cruise control use a little more petrol ? Obviously it depends on your driving style but I reakon I could do better without it.

The consensus is that cruise control uses less fuel as it can maker finer throttle adjustments to remain constant speed.

I can get about 48mpg avg:thumbup:

SWIMBO over the same route always get 60+mpg:thumbdwn: and normally pulls away from the toll booths faster:eek:

I bet it took you 3 times longer to get there than it did to get home though!!

It's because she is a woman!!!!!! Of course!!!!!

Women make everything go further! When mine's around I go as far away as possible!! [no, not really!]

Women make everything go further!

except your money

And your beer!

But the beer and the money appear to make the women go further!! Or is it the other way around...oh forget it!
