Your Best Ever?

[Yandards 0]

After dropping the missus off at the airport this morning I was stuck behind lorrys all the way there and back, I managed to squeeze 37.6MPG reading out of the MFA in the VR.

 

I was quite chuffed with that especially with a shagged front wheel bearing and a buggered cam position sensor.

 

So what are your 'best' MFA figures ? (Oil temps for the G60s would be interesting)

 

No cheating with vacuum hose leaks either ;)

47MPG from an 8v raddo, and 150deg in a G60 are two that stick out :oops:

Not applicable on the VR as it uses injector duty cycle to calculate mpg ;-)

 

Mine's on 99.9mpg, which darn good......but only cause there's no ECU telling the MFA anything :lol:

 

Best mpg in my VR, totally standard was 36mpg. Worst mpg, i.e. currently, is about 12mpg.

I managed 38 mpg on the drive back from VW Mania (Belgium) last year.

Mine used to be rather poor but after picking it up from Midland VW yesterday i got 41 on the way down the A38, and an average of 37ish for the journey.

 

After usually seeing high 20's i was well chuffed
