Hi Guys

My 1.4FSI is only doing about 37-40 MPG atm, i do 20 miles motor way driving a day a then a further 10 negotiating round abouts and down country lanes.

Does this sound about right, i use shell optimax as its the best for my FSI so iv been told.

I know you TDI boys are gunna wade in and tell me that tdi's rock and your consumption is aroudn 45-55 but were not all as fortunate as you to have one

lol

What are fellow FSI owners gettting atm?

doesnt sound too bad, when did you last have a service and/or oil change?

Another way to look at it would be what does the book say your car should be doing? if you're not too far (far) off those figures then I'd say you were about right?

To my mind, that figure sounds a tad low for the TSi - going purely by what you describe as your daily communte IMHO.

probably the government ripping us off giving us lesser grade fuel and charging us loads for it

had an oil change about 2 weeks ago, only done 18k miles though... if that makes a difference? Maybe need to chain air filter?

hhmm that does seem a little low, yeh amybe, when was the last service and what was done to it?

Id check the air filter and sparks first - you need to check its burning right. Also, there is a small possibility your fuel mixture is out due to a dodgy sensor.

ill change the spark plugs and air filter i think, see if it helps.

Im still intrigued to know what other fsi owners are getting though
