600 mile tank!

Post by david burton »

Hell yeah! This required a lot of patience, I don't think it was actually near the end of the tank either, something like 42 litres went back in to fill it up.

Not bad for a remapped 100 sport on fat tyres and heavy rims.

I get better MPG off the motorway - to get 60+ MPG on the motorway I need to go about 60mph which gets frustrating. That was about half on the motorway and half on the commute to work (B and A roads). I don't think I'll ever do that sort of miles again.

jb-uk i would definitely recommend a diesel i had a polo sport 1.4 before and it doesnt compare the diesel is so much smoother and nicer to drive imo and tuning it is alot easier as well if you want to go that extra mile...
