  what you guys say to be the best additive to use, my last tank i used STP injector cleaner and fuel treatment, but didn't notice to much,  I've been averaging 37 MPG the last month and a bit. I want to go further on a tank

  Blimey 400 miles/ tank?
  Solutions/reasons
  1) Your rebuild mechanics swapped a gasser in whilst your head was turned.
  2) You're driving a tank with a VW badge.
  3) You have a limited edition drug smuggler's fuel tank.
  4) You drive like Jake round a track.
  
  ..Ok jokeing aside  
  
  Is anything binding?
  Do you have pre-rebuild mileage?
  Smokin' ?

  
  
  
  
  Fokin funny bastard, was cracking  :lol:
  
  MIlage now is 142k hmm im not really sure what the hell is wrong with teh bastard, it seems to be ok on power, has around 9-10 psi, tends to smoke when beating it and I do have a heavy foot I must say but still :?

• I get 800km city and 1000+  highway. I once went from Calgary to Nanaimo on one tank of fuel, 1100km, and that's over the Rockies.

• I got 1179.1 km on my last tank with my 1992 Jetta (1985 1.6D in it).
  
  The car is not aligned and I don't have a cruise control yet.
  
  My guess is that I'll be able to see 1400 ++++ km per tank eventually.
  
  BTW, the tank capacity on A2's is exactly 59.9 litres.
  
  I got to my favorite station and when the jetta saw the pump, she died. :oops:
  
  5 seconds of cranking and I was back on the road.
  
  For this tank, 350 km before the gauge gets off the full mark and 500 km at 3/4.
  
  Not as economical as my B4 passat, but a fun little car nonetheless.

• I got 4.39 l/100 km on my second to last tank, best so far.
  
  I went in hilly terrain and got 5.26 (filled up monday).
  
  Here's a bad combinaison: 10% hills and 1.6D NA... :?
  
  I had to go uphill in 3rd at 4500 rpm... :cry:

• Yikes, what's up with my 1.6D??
  I typically have been getting only 750 km's per tank for past couple years, drive around 120km's / hour.
  Original everything, must be my leaking pump head and injectors.
  I once did get 1000k out of a tank 10 years ago but drove under 100 all week.

• Drive slower and change you pump's seals, you should get better mileage then. :wink:

• I've got 700 and it's just below a half tank. Gotta love the waste veggie oil.

• For this tank I got to 820 before the needle gets off the white half way mark.
  
  Will fill up today and report back (1111 km so far). :twisted:
