HDI em pee gees

[Ed Doe]

The 106 is wank and mechanical IDI though lol.......mine averaged 67mpg.........the golf with 2 times the weight, AND 3 times the power averages 65mpg lol, NADs really arent that good on fuel comparatively!!

In Danny's defense, he did say it was a long cruise somewhere and all motorway. I'm still sceptical, but it doesn't seem impossible if you think about it. 60 litre tank, plus 5 litres in the filler neck, over 970 miles would be 68mpg. Easily achievable for a heavy golf on a run so I can't see that it would be impossible for a 306.

But Tom, you've got a vnt, and completely different gear ratios than an hdi, so you're comparing chalk and cheese...

You can sit at ridiculously low revs comparatively, and have to use less throttle to get places due to the instant spool.

pd engines are newer tech than hdis.


And I'm sorry but 'the 106 is wank and mechanical idi'; expand? It's old tech, but it's very good for what it is. Labelling it as wank is just ignorant considering people buy economical cars to save money. I bought my nad, taxed mot'd and insured it for about 1/4 of the cost of your golf. Now here's a challenge Tom, calculate how may cobwebs will have to form under your accelerator, and how long your beard will be by the time the additional 12mpg your golf gets over my nad will actually offset the ~£2500 extra you spent on your car in the 1st place... Let alone the turbo changes/gearbox changes/mot/tax/insurance costs...

And I bet I have more fun in the nad than you do in your golf
