I’VE DONE IT!!!!!

Just…..


VW states that @ a constant 120km/h this car will achieve 47.08 MPGuk. Well a cruising at 120KM/h and with a bucket load of urban and small runs my little polo – still in un-modded state (bar tyre pressures) – has just done....

60.06865MPG!!!

Breaking my target 60MPGuk barrier and the 50MPGus Barrier if I have my sums right.

No Coasting P+G
No MPGuino or fancy data visualisation
No fancy hi-tech engine
No Aero mods

Just a plucky little german hatchback with an oversized diesel lump up front!
