Filling her up

[darrenwall]

i put £64 diesel in mine yesterday and that was 94.9p a litre ( 1p cheaper than unleaded ) and the red light had been on for the past 45 miles so that took it up to 560 miles since i last brimmed it . i find the trick is to fill it right up is shake the car by grabbing the roof rails and when you do that a few times put the cap back on and you can hear the diesel being sucked down the neck for some reason and that way i can get an extrta £1 worth in there . its no wonder i get funny looks filling my car up then

Well the orange light has just come on after my first tank of diesel at 624 miles.
So not bad I guess but I really wanted 700 miles.
Not much chance of that on A and B roads I have to use to get to work and back

That's about 40-44 MPG so far (if you put in 14-15 galls)

Your Gti6 would have struggled to get high twenties

Or you could just go to the esso station in penydarren and park it facing down hill, same effect, no funny looks . Got 72 litres in mine last fill

Filled mine up to the brim on wednesday night - took somthing like $72 worth in our moneys.

Filled it from exactly 1/4 tank though...

Done 108km and still havent hit 3/4 of a tank yet - me can feel some serious KM comming along. Today probably killed my fuel economy with 5 people in the car and being on quite a hilly part of Sydney meaning I had to stoke it through the gears a bit to get it moving along at a reasonable pace!

Will report in a 2 weeks - I'm going away next week and will probably be taking my friends Golf MK5 2.0 FSI - She better give me a drive!!!

40-45mpg isn't that bad put like that way
And yes the GTi-6 would struggle to get into high 20s.
But it was a lot of (expensive) fun ;)

Think i've put nearly 75 litres in mine, not bad for a 70 litre tank! £70.50 @ 97.9p, never again!

The first time i filled it up, i was almost lying on the ground checking for fuel leaks, going where the hell is it all going!

I pretty quickly found the way to fill is to put the pump in upside down, works a treat.

Had 57.7 mpg out of mine the other night coming home from work (i too took a photo ). strange as most of the time i get about 53, always between 49 and 55 mpg.

did once have it around the 60mpg mark, was a long trip from yorkshire to the south of london in the wet, spend the entire journey doing a constant 60mph due to traffic.

I remember brimming it @ 75 litres, petrol started to come out of the filler point when I removed the nozzle, so I just bunged the cap on lol
