hi all, thinking of buying a mk3 VR6 but was wondering what the MPG was on them and how many miles for a tenner driving within consideration of the speed limit, at the mo on my mk1 gti with a tsr engine in it imgettin 45miles to a tenner thats driving it slow any ideas..... thanks nish
Don't buy a VR if you're worried about MPG even tho my MFA does say about 20MPG at the minute average
3 words "they guzzle fuel" I average 27 mpg not sure how many miles to 10 I get I'd probably cry if i knew that
i don't find it that bad at all....on motorways journey's i get upto 36, which is better than i would have got from my old 1.2 punto at same speeds. goes down a fair bit if you really boot it, and is less around town, but i wouldn't say its that bad. certainly a lot better than my mates S3.
I get 185 miles to a tank on my vento and i think it's the same size tank as a golf, but then again, i have a company fuel card
My driving is a fair mix of town and motorway etc, probably a bit biased to town driving. Over the 3000 miles I've had mine it's averaging about 24mpg according to the MFA. Of course it all depends how you drive it, but I wouldn't bother buying a VR if I wasn't going to enjoy it!
FACT You do not buy a VR6 if you even might be slightly worried about your MPG. It will be quite poor. I'm only getting about 23mpg in my mk2
very true....but i actually think the fuel economy is superb considering the size/performance of the engine.
hi all thanks for the replies nah im not worried about the fuel consumption i dont really mind but jus wanted a rough idea on how much of a difference it would be from the mk1, like i said my mk1 does 45miles from a tenner gotta start saving for a rado Vr6 hopefully summertime ill have enough pennies..... thanks nish
