mk3 16v fuel consumption

On the way to the ring was crusing along about 110-120 just on light throttle, reset the MFA and was still showing 32mpg after 10 mins or so... dony ya love empty german autobhans!

In a light Mk1 I recon a ABF with the mk3 ecu and fuel system would see 50mpg goin steady.

Managed to get it down to 16 on a lap of the ring tho

 

As we are on the topic of MPG for the mk3 valver.

I'm really interested in using the mk3 TD 5th gear cog in the 02A box as the link below describes to get even better MPG + relaxed cruising

I had a 94 passat td, which did 1000 miles to a tank, for about two months then blew up

 

I just came across an old note book I found in the Kitchen drawer. Inside it I had written down the fuel consumption of my MK3 when I first bought it five years ago. We went camping in Cornwall before we had the kids so a much lighter load etc.

From filling up to brim and then a fair old bit of driving (80mph down the M-Way) fairly fast along the A roads etc, then a bit around the twisties in near Lands End and St Just etc and then filling up again in St Ives, I noted the MPG as 35.4

So I have done better with a now older car by 1.3 MPG!!!! (thread above)

The most shocking thing was that fuel was 0.770 per litre!!! OMG [:^(]

 

i ave a seat cordoba with an abf. and get about 220 to 260 out of a tank sure theres a gremlin in the tank drinking it
