V6 mpg

[Josh]

Just wanted to know what you mpg is on your V6 mk1 s & mk2s

And how do you drive them? whats it go down to when you give it some?

 

[Final Maxim]

round 19mpg?

 

[Josh]

much difference in the two?

 

[Final Maxim]

ide guess nothin at all

 

[Final Maxim]

mk 1s look loads better though

 

[Josh]

Me Thinking of a mk1. just gotta work out how much it would cost

I get around 15-19 mph around town and, on a recent motorway trip up the M1 managed 26mph (with a heavy right foot too!)...

If youre asking these sort of questions... maybe the V6 aint the car for you...

Everytime Ive borrowed my mates (hes had both a mk1 & mk2) they were doing teens to the gallon and if you really drive them hard its horrific!

However, with that engine note its hard not to thrash them.

8mpg when pushing it - and a smile wider than the rear arches

 

[TheRoninV6]

im currently getting 18mpg with normal driveing and have seen it drop as low as 8mpg when im really thrashing the arse off if

 

[Simo]

Worst Ive seen is 20mpg. But I avaerage about 28.

Quite happy.

Mk 1 over 48K = 30m.p.g.

Lowest about 15m.p.g.

 

[miketheman2k]

On journeys less than 15 minutes I see an average of 18mpg (not enthusiastic driving), but once the engine is warm, normal driving is usually 19-23mpg.

Any car will see teen figures if you boot it properly

Car I drove yesterday had average of 16mpg over the 128 miles itd done since new ... I didnt help with my heavy right foot

 

[clarkiev6]

12 min and 30 max.. thats the best i can get!!

 

[mitch_]

Ive not managed better than 22mpg a yet, and my combined average is yet to be higher than 16....Maybe I should review my driving style. It must be the least economical small car in the world to be honest. Good job Im not arsed.

*LOL* typing blues..of course I meant mpg! I might add that it is indeed hard to feather the throttle when the engine sounds so great!!

 

[v6Max]

Anything up to 35Mpg (but I did have to take everything out to get this).

Pushing hard at a track day Ive seen down to about 9mpg

 

[Dash]

Smiles to the gallon

 

[lifelong 172]
