Hi folks


how would you compare the fuel consumption of a GTi-R with 300bhp over a Golf R32 (3.2) 240bhp

A standard R is supposed to 21mpg on the urban cycle, Or 35mpg at 56mph, Not sure about a 300 bhp car because I've never measured it properly.

But I'm sure you can work it out.

I don't know about the golf as i don't have one but my R is proberbly around 300 horse atm on a good day and i get about 17-18mpg on average.

I get between 24 - 26 mpg. About 230-250 miles to a tank of fuel.
That's sensable road driving.
On the track, I get between 11 - 13 mpg. So it just depends how you are driving the car.

 

[mad max]

Sounds about right ,As for on track i dont know they never let me on .

 

[DanDud]

If i do 60 on the motorway i average 20mpg with 330bhp. Otherwise its between 10 and 15 on fast road driving and on track.

 

[lakeview]

even a standard gtir is worse than a golf r32,i used to average about 15 in the gtir and i think about 25 in my brothers r32

 

[stumo]

who cares.

 

[gtir bean]

£20 gets me 100 miles normal day to day driving with a normal ish 1bar set up.not bad for the performance you have on tap if you ask me.

 

[cybermorph]

why do you ask?
i get about 15mpg out of my car with 330bhp.
