OV9

Friend of mine just got the 4.1 v8d which still does less than 30mpg on its journey back from Germany where he bought it (lhd, he lives abroad mainly these days) so low 20s is great.

Boxster av is 22 and I think my golfs were too.

Did you fact check him Simon?

Harry said it can do over 20mpg too, happy now? I’m sure it’ll dip around town.

My c32 does 14, I’ll tell you about that once I’ve sold it.

” at the 70-80mph UK motorway norm, the twin-turbo V8’s revs are sitting at just 1700-1800rpm, allowing fuel economy to climb above 20mpg – as long as you can resist the temptation to boot it.)”

Some might describe that as using a “light right foot”...

Didn’t deny it.

So what was that about?

Your ownership reports for cars you’re about to sell are VERY different to those you’ve sold.

It’s understandable, of course you’re not going to slag of a car you’re trying to sell, but I tend to take your pre-sale ones with a (large) pinch of salt.

And you could apply that to everyone who’s sold a car ever. Seems strange you’d go out of your way to make this point?

Not really, all I asked was if you were driving it with a light right foot and you got all pissy. Following that is it any surprise that I’d give some background as to why I’d question your figures?

Got any proof your Golf will do 40mpg?

My 740d will do 40mpg (with a dainty right foot ), Rich’s Golf is probably broken if it won’t do 40mpg !

Yeah, I believe him, like I believe Nic. Why would either of them lie about it? Rich seems to be a bit triggered for some reason.

If Rich thinks Nic is going to make a massive profit flipping a Cayenne Turbo to someone who’ll pay through the nose because it’ll do 22mpg, he should have bought it himself

The Golf has averaged 36mpg since new and will do 40+ with a light right foot.

If your overall av in your golf is that you either

a) dont drive it or

b) drive like a fanny 100 miles a time when you take it out.

c) about what they do on average.

Yours does that mpg going to the shops - send a pic mate of the computer - and you driving like a fanny.

I'm happy to announce that since I've used the BMW as my 'break room' while WFH (to get the hell away from screens on lunch, etc) it's spent a lot of time idling. I think the average now for the last few months is about 7mpg, as it doesn't remove 'stopped' time from the fuel consumption averages.

I might get a picture later.

(pootling around town it's about 11-13mpg as it barely warms up, on a run mostly cruising at 70 (say, popping to Hull with a bit of town on each end) it's around 30 average.

if I only drive to the shops I’d not have sold the M3. I’ve averaged about 12-15k a year for the last 2 years.
