Hi, just wondered what MPG other mk6 drivers are getting. I have a 1.4 and currently only get about 220 miles for a full tank of petrol. They are mostly short distant urban miles, but still would expect more.

Hi,
I don't own a mk6 so can't say for certain but i'd imagene you could easily get 300 out of a tank if you went on longer journeys.

What is your typical journey length? As if it's too short it wont give time for the engine to sufficiently heat up so it wont be running at its peak

Thanks
Kris

If i run until empty i will get around 411 miles and that is mainly a-b road driving and it is not always driven gently

Mine varies: 37 mpg in the depths of winter, to 50 mpg on a long run in more moderate conditions. I look to fill the tank between 350-400 miles. It's a 2004 Finesse 1.25. Currently averaging around 43 mpg on 20 mile commute to work (each way) - mainly dual carriageway.

i had about 33mpg around town etc and did about 280miles till just above the red ( never go below the red ) but on a long run i was getting about 45+mpg and did about 380 miles on a tank once!
