When I was using my 1159 HB everyday it used to do about 32mpg, my HB GT used to average 24mpg, or about 30mpg on a run. As long as I behaved, did get down to 8mpg once!!!

MPG, what do you get?

My HPF was giving about 32mpg on the motorway from home to Billing last year, and about the same when I went to Shelsley Walsh for the DSG 25th anniversary thing. And I wasn't hanging about either, just going steadily.

I used to have a 10 year old HB and it did about 32mpg. My Griffon 2300 does about 12mpg, but that's just the way I drive it. I don't think it helps having a 1256 axle and I don't like using top gear as that stops the back wheels spinning. Regards, Mark

*jumps on bandwagon late*
On the run from leeds to London (about 200 miles) the viva used up about 30 litres of fuel. So that's about 20-25mpg.

30 litres in 200 miles, that's not bad. Working on 4.54 litres per gallon, that's equivalent to 30mpg.
