1.6TD vs AAZ fuel economy

[Patrick]

Thanks. Doing better than I am for mileage with a heavier car. Geared better and your pump though....

Anyone who tells you that you can get 70 mpg from an IDI VW diesel is lying or stupid.

one user here, has a porsche 356 (1.6TD powered) that gets 72 mpg.. its in a magazine if you dont believe me.

(maybe your the one whos stupid this time?)

This one?

best i had on my 1.6 gtd golf 2(dynoed 139hp) was 4.5lt/100km(52mpg?) and that was loaded with camping gear(only front seats were empty  ),running 9X15 steelies and doing 100km/h most of the time.

on a lighter car,better gearing(i had a 4S) and a good engine/pump i believe less than that can be achieved.

wish that hagar could be here to state on this,for me he could never be a bullsh*t or lying person and i remember he stated bunny bondo was getting very good numbers...

my aaz passat never had a good trip to check best fuel consumption scenario but riding it daily i can get as low as 5.8lt/100km,and that is with a vehicle that weights almost double than a stock rabbit and as almost 3 times his power...

ALWAYS had better fuel consumption with my cars with upgraded engine setups than in stock form...
