VTS guzzling petrol???

[flynnsvtr]

I bought a mk1 VTS about 3 weeks ago, all is running well so far, however maybe its just me but i swear the thing does about 20mpg lol. Even short shiftin and eco drivin without goin over 3000 revs the car seems to go though a hell of alot of petrol. Does anyone else find this? I knew it drank alot more petrol then a VTR but im goin through 20 quid on petrol every few days, barely travellin great distances.

What MPG do you lot get or rather, how many miles to a full tank?

[Tinytinks]

bloody hell ive got a vtr and i get about 77 miles on a tenner,my b/f has got a vts and he gets roughly 60 miles to a tenner.

When was it last serviced mate?

[acemastr]

my VTR does 45mpg on the motorway quite happily, i get around 450mile to a tank (bottom of red... to the point i think it'll stall)

As above, probably needs a good service. May have dirty plugs, filter full of shit etc.

My VTR dos about 50mpg with careful driving, I'd expect a VTS to do maybe 35-40 mpg.

If you dont service the engine properly as said above, it can reduce performance

last time i had full tank it done around 330 then light came on, some heavy driving, some town driving and some motorway miles

[flynnsvtr]

Yeah its due a service it last had one at 71000 miles and its now at 81000 miles, I new servicing was required but dam didnt know it would affect fuel consumption so much, cheers for all your help guys, 60 miles to a tenner!!!! Ive been getting literally less then 200 miles to a full tank...

gutted for you, managed to get my vtr to 110 miles to a tenner of petrol

[Sophia_Bush]

not that it is any help but in my 106 gti I am getting roughly 85 - 110miles on £15 the latter at a push and dipping into the red.

Pushing it doesn't count

Regular servicing every 6/7 ish and keeping on top of maintenance should keep the MPG good and the engine running well.

when i take my vts for a rip, put a fiver in mine and can go bout 25 mile, and thats limiting every gear lol

380 miles on my last full tank (red light to red light) usual mix of town and motorway driving, mostly short trips of 3 miles max.
