You are right - it's winter.
Howeve...@Cathryn<br /><br />You are right - it's winter.<br /><br />However what I have in the car is climate control, which can be used to warm up or cool down, I believe, but affects mpg. SO I turned it off to be sure, to be sure.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234085314662011091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862827.post-84670454481108120682010-02-23T12:51:09.957+00:002010-02-23T12:51:09.957+00:00I'd like to comment on your lack of fuel effic...I'd like to comment on your lack of fuel efficiency -- it sounds quite frustrating. <br /><br />However, I can't get past the air conditioning.

I can understand a few hundred, but not many thousands.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234085314662011091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862827.post-90400971125029439852010-02-22T10:04:09.244+00:002010-02-22T10:04:09.244+00:00In my opinion the Golf needs a lot more miles befo...In my opinion the Golf needs a lot more miles before it makes the numbers. Do another 3,000 miles and I expect you will see an improvement.<br /><br />In the meantime enjoy the free road fund licence ;-)Slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714418815844314269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862827.post-40072384799000893272010-02-21T22:08:13.853+00:002010-02-21T22:08:13.853+00:00Golf has 3,000 miles: Merc has 9,500.Golf has 3,000 miles: Merc has 9,500.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234085314662011091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862827.post-22996323931398841762010-02-21T14:57:57.383+00:002010-02-21T14:57:57.383+00:00The only figure that surprises me from the chart i...The only figure that surprises me from the chart is you not being able to achieve the Golf's combined figure. Manufacturer's figures are set in a test environment and achieving anything more than the combined figure would be a miracle. They also tweak their ECUs to get the lowest CO2 output for the tests. AutoCAR magazine ran an article on this recently, I will look for it.<br /><br />Slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714418815844314269noreply@blogger.com
