Why I love my S2...

[Rusty]

Friday - tinkering with the spanners.

Saturday - keeping a TT RS honest, chasing Sonic and having a perfect view of a fast shorty on track.

Sunday - supermarket then a run to the dump.

Monday - commute to work in the city.

Only downside... 12mpg over the 3 days

[Cottis]

12mpg = Good fun. Fine work sir!

[rynaqui]

My S2 never gets that sort of action

[Jack4688]

12mpg

I'll bear that in mind when I'm feeling depressed about my mpg dropping closer and closer to 22.0

[Christophski]

22.0mpg???? I wish... Average 19mpg

I love my S2 cos it hates me lol.... I fix one thing and something else then throws a wobbly....

[vonbeck]

[andyg plym]

must have been a good day Saturday, I averaged 28 mpg. Normally its 24 ish

Rusty I love my S2 also but mine only gets used on special occasions
ive got my 80 saloon as a daily and (mine but girlfriend drives it) 80 tdi estate for moving things

[Christophski]

Good effort Andy. The most I ever saw was 32.8 on a run from London to cornwal a few years ago doing 75mph the whole time

It's a bit weird, if you sit at 60 you appear to use more than when slightly on boost at 80

£70 of a combo of Tesco 99 loopy juice and Esso 97 convenience blend.

Possibly because with a bit of boost you're driving along with the engine under less load as it's producing more torque - that's where an engine is most efficient... Although I'm sure a high revving Honda for example with peak torque at a heady 5000 rpm (or whatever) isn't going to be most efficient at that point lol

[Greg_S]

Yeah its funny that. I find cruising along at that sort of speed is more economical too. Out on track was a nice 9mpg I noticed on Saturday

[newsh]

On the trip computer I got 32mpg for the journey down and the track time and 42mpg on the way back




630cc injectors though..

Try a lower gear, it might be more economical.
