Here's hoping I get added to the Premier League table *cough* Dan!

It's a tad overdue for an update. It appears to be still showing the results for 2011/12...

You were 'that# close to Stratford and you didn't pop in for a cup of tea... how rude!!

Is it 'open house' for any O(F)C member passing through the vicinity?

I've got no problems with opening my doors to friends

This isn't representative yet - I lost my front undertrays and have yet to re-fit them.
207 miles covered (Chester -> A51 -> M6/M1 -> Rotherhithe and a run to B&Q & back)
26.05 litres to refill
36.08 mpg.

we managed 35.56 mpg on our last tank of fuel n/a rev3

This is a pre-update, just thought I'd mention that, still having horrendous MPG in my rev3 na.

I read a few threads and some people have had great MPG success changing the engine coolant temperature sensor. I happened to pick one by when ordering from camskill (it was cheap) and fitted it tonight. I'll give it a few days, reset the ECU and then do a proper MPG run. Hoping for an improvement from the low 20s I was getting!

So averaging about 220miles on a full tank in my rev5 na. Blueflame decat and induction being only mods. I only commute 5miles each way but that still seems ridiculously low

A full tank is 55litres, are you using the full 55litres and running out of petrol each time?

Top line to bottom line is 40litres; 15litres less than the car holds.

Calculate the MPG as per the instructions and you'll find that you are getting around 27mpg which is around normal for urban driving.

Got 32mpg average on the way to JAE and a good few boost sessions too.

93 Rev2 turbo, pretty impressed with that!

On tesco 99 fuel.

I'm a new owner (mk2 rev3 175bhp NA), and calculating two separate 3 hour drives I achieved 39mpg driving at 70-80mph with casual acceleration. I was absolutely delighted!

I think 45mpg is achievable if you wanna join the motorway 50mph club.

[Mikey637]

The 30+ mpg runs were from a trip to wales, the others is my usual short journeys. 1999 rev5 na with blueflame decat exhaust and generic cone filter

so that's 1267 miles and 43.5 gallons = 29.11mpg overall.
With the 5 mile only each way "normal" runs thats not a bad MPG
Your 38's show it is running well

[Mikey637]

Considering I have a sticky caliper and only drive it slow on uneven roads (blood coilovers) or when it's cold it isn't bad

I get about 180-200 per tank but that at 410bhp
