But that doesn't sound far off anyway, about 25mpg, that's pretty much what I was getting in the GTi6.
Thanks Tom, that sounds a little better.
@Welshpug - I know it is highly inaccurate way of getting mpg. but, im not interested in finding my mpg. i was interested in if my car was losing petrol, if say £20 didnt cover 50 miles, then i would have a major issue, but from what tom has mentioned it sounds about right, so i know it is the gauge that is most likely the culprit in my mis readings.
Is there an easy fix for this? or would it be better to just replace the sender unit and float?
Cheers guys.
