My wifes car is in the garage so she has decided she should keep my Rallye and sell her car  Then she drove it and claims the clutch has hurt her back as it's so heavy. Well played Rally, well played  Can I count see her driving the car as a I Spy? As I haven't seen a single Rallye/GTI-6 since I got the car  |

Shes only driving it because she has no choice, apparently.Was funny when she decided she wanted to drive my GTR. She didn't even get out of first gear or on boost before she "scared" herself?!? |

My wifes likes ragging mine. She always has 4 or 5 runs at pugfest in it and will be 2nd driver when we do a full brandshatch track day in it. She liked it that much she got a 306. Albeit an hdi with a stage 1 map and loads of 6 bits as she can't stand 30 mpg.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I get 300 from a tank on crappy 5 mile commute every day.

If you drive very economically you can easily get high 30s from a healthy gti6.I bet I could get 40 driving at 56mph everywhere. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I get over 300 with mine if longer trips. Got from London to Devon with less than half a tank when I brought her home.Good news, the wife's car is back so I'v now hidden the keys to mine. During the time she had it it hurst her back (heavy clutch) and shes got a cracking bruise on her left from the seat height adjustment arm (nno idea how she did it??) |

It's all about how little you can get from a full tank. Bragging about 400 plus from 60 litres is so last year ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13 Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |

Must admit, we do love a good MPG debate. Perhaps there should be a dedicated thread for it. Lol________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

Mine always see's high 20's low 30's with mixed driving and lots of traffic. A healthy one should see minimum of 300 miles to the yellow light. But I've been brimming mine every week for years and logging it on an app as I'm sad lime that and it's averaged at 30mpg. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
