sounds right tbh.

VTS combined only gets 32mpg

Full tank for a VTS is roughly £48 and i get just under 300 mile in mine.

Do the math ;)

Your getting roughly 30mpg which is nothing to complain about in a VTS


Thread closed.........

Loads of threads the same as this, also take a look at sayers fuel saving guide.

10 quid in my westy from red gets me about 85 miles before its on red again.

[matt_vtr_15]

it costs me around 10p a mile

£10 from empty gets me a 100 miles...i base myself on that..

Put 25 quid in and got 250 miles before i dare go any further...

lots of motorway miles there though.....

Lol I believe you, but when I am getting 47.1mpg currently I find it annoying lol.

[Pocket_Rocket]

a van lol, ok thanks, does it make it miles worse with mods or just a bit?

[Peejous]

This is in rush hour traffic as well.

No point sitting in the outside lane belting it at 70 to sit in more traffic

Tootle in the inside lane and chill.

At the end of the day it's not the car, it's the driver.

[Luke]

To be honest, I always stick at 60 - 65mph on the motorway to save fuel nowadays.

Getting like Sayer ;)

[David]

I stick between 80-90 on the motorway, and get about 45 mpg :(

[vtrjay]

I get 35mpg in my vtr and thats normal driving! which im happy with :)

[Luke]

I averaged 63mpg I think coming back from Trax, thats because I drove at 70 all way back.

Shows by putting foot down it wastes fuel.

[David]

Aye.. Plus I was working the turbo :cool:

[Luke]

Aye.. Plus I was working the turbo :cool:

70mph, drop it in 6 and I guarantee you'll be doing 1200 - 1400rpm?

That way use hardly any fuel - Dad does it regularly on the Mondeo and gets 70+ mpg.

[David]

I'll try it on the way back to Sheffield tomorrow!

[Luke]

If you do that, you shouldn't use much fuel as you are sitting out of the Turbo.

Problem I have with mine, I reckon it would take a 6th gear no problems as sitting at 70mph I'm doing 2k.

[Barry123]

Lol I believe you, but when I am getting 47.1mpg currently I find it annoying lol.

it's a more modern engine... and I bet you if you stuck yours at 50mph on the motorway you'd be nearer 80mpg.

Whos in modern?

I'll try that at weekend when I go shopping ;)

[matt_vtr_15]

i find i do better mpg on the motorway if i sit at 70-80 in 5th than i do if i do 50-60 in 5th....

i find it hard to believe but seriously that seems to be the case....

[Luke]

I'd be very chuffed with that Peej.

Just put "Heart FM" on your stereo, they'll know you dont care and are probably listening to tony braxton or something.

[Luke]

Nopes.

I fancy Metro Centre, but honestly not sure if I can bothered driving 200 miles.
