Just thought id share this with you! I drove from Newquay to Plymouth and back (about 80 miles) on Friday night and drove like a granny to see what mpg i could get.

I never did more than 55mph never took it over 2500rpm and i managed 44mpg average! It was nearly 50mpg but there are loads of hills coming back into Newquay so it dropped a bit.

Not bad eh! My car has been running spot on since i got my Stage 2 Revo. Highly recommended :yes:
 
Heh! I regularly see high 30s, and occasional low 40s on a 'Miss Daisy' cruise-control-at-68-avoids-speed-taxation run to my folks in the Lakes. Soon drops back below 30 when I get there on the little twisty ones though...

Cheers,
 
I drove from Worthing to London last night and managed 35mpg, was pleased with that!
 
I wouldn't always rely on the dis, i would be amazed if you can do 44 miles out of £6 (v power £1.20ltr)
1 ltr = 0.21 imperial gallons
5 ltrs = 1.09 imperial galloons
£1.20 x 5ltrs = £6
 
smaller wheels would have got you even better results :)

i did my Scotland run last weekend, 240 miles = £60 Vpower :(

brimmed it which is how i worked it out booooo

heavy foot mate, and also took slight detour on one of the UK's most dangerous roads 'snakes pass' :) although i free wheeled the last 4-5-6 miles downhill to get my mpg back up...oh and stopped at a local track on the way to check the top speed - 140mph (fastest ive ever been!!) and still had some left :)
 
The S3 is appalling in town and short journeys, but on motorways and long empty stretches of road I can easily see 30+ mpg in real world figures.
 
Took the 2Tdi family estate to the lakes. Went Manchester-Birmingham-Lakes-Birmingham-Manchester in one weekend, 70 quid in fuel, 49mpg.

Came back and was pleased to see 20 on mine!!
 
So this Stage 2 Revo....

You have an air filter fitted, milltek and DV, FPR?

How do you find it? Did you get it on the rollers?

Just FYI, most remapped S3's will have a way off MPG figure on the DIS, as no tuner is that clever(or have the time of day shall I say) enough to recalibrate your MPG reading against your new map. My S3 tells me I'm getting 27.9mpg constantly(when I can read it), but in reality, it gets 22mpg around town, 25mpg mix and 30mpg+ on the motorway depending on what speed I'm doing, using brim to brim figures.
 
Stock car, is showing 34 mpg, I mainly drive A roads and take it steady so its about right, fair return for a nippy mota.

surely if your running standard injectors and fuel pressure why would there be a need for this? I always thought it was spot on until you change injectors.

I did read that you can adjust MPG on vagcom from 85-115% though

To get more power, the injector cycle would be different to standard, and a remap doesn't recalibrate your fuel consumption readings...
 
Very sceptical you could get that mpg on a decent length of drive. Wouldn't ever believe the DIS either, it always overstates the true mpg. The ONLY way to calculate it is brim to brim tank fill and a calculator.

140MPH? thought an s3 would top 150 easy???:think:
 
Honestly the best I get between London and Hatfield is 23mpg, and thats mainly motorways! something is not right here! around 12 pounds for 35 miles. that is pure S***
 
Wish my Focus RS got the same MPG as you guys in the S3's... 200 miles form £60 of v-power seems about right...

think my 1.8 sport 8L must only do about 30 mpg and i drive that like an old man

I might calculate it manually to see how accurate the dis is then...

Not had it on the rollers yet but would like to. I got a stage 1 first which made it 100% better to drive. Then got the forge 007, piperx panel air filter, 4 bar fuel pressure regulator and milltek cat back exhaust fitted and got a stage 2 upgrade. Didnt make as big a difference as going from stock to stage 1 but certainly felt a lot better. Gives you a nice kick in the back when the turbo kicks in :)

I had 160 out of mine on GPS then ran out of (my private) road!
 
I thought that to get the best out of a stage 2 you'd need a downpipe? Therefore removing further restriction to the exhaust gases, and possibly (debatable) a FMIC to aid in air temperatures? This would make sense to me before i would even think of stage 2. Stage 3 then would be Turbo, maybe cats and a further map to get the most out of the new turbo.

Am i wrong?

What was the cost of stage 2? assuming you already had revo stage 1!
 
44 is nice. The most I've got is 35mpg on the motorway in my 1.6. That wasn't at 55mph, or 70 for that matter though.
 
im lucky if i see 35mpg on the motorway in my 1.8t. and around town.... ppffft wheres the petrol station! i do like to get to 30 as quick as poss tho :eyebrows:

But if i drive it like a grandded a tank will last me about week n half.
