Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
On my car the air filter helps the car rev, it revs slightly quicker and you can hear it a little but when it comes to mpg it is very minimal if it does make any difference you might be looking at 0.1 mpg which could be achieved by driving slightly different.
If your like me and like to hear your engine then go for it but I will be honest and say if your not planning loads of mods to make it a race car then I would stick with the normal.
Agreed, for 0.1 gain its not worth it....also reckon mine is probably fairly well eco tuned out the factory given the model I have (but I'm not 100%)
As it stands I cant hear the engine above the CD player so that's no biggie and deffo not needing a race car
Here you go....done a couple of thousand miles in it now and this was my trip into work today, I reckon I could improve it a bit but I'd say with normal driving and no chasing people that very high 50's would be normal (58-59).
My main problem on my commute is getting stuck in traffic which trashes the MPG and Average Speed:
My 2.0 CDTi regularly says on the trip computer that it is doing around 49-50MPG. Working it out from brimming the tank it works out about the same as the trip computer. Recently did some long distance driving and got 56MPG.
My J 2.0 CDTi manual gets 49MPG combined motorway and urban driving. I compare the trip computer and fuel receipts/odo readings and they are fairly close. But of course that is nowhere near the 60mpg GM claim the car will get......
My H 1.9 CDTi got 53MPG over 60000Mi using same fuel, roads and calculations.......
Hi all.... I have a 2.0 cdti Sri gtc ..12 plate with 71k miles on the clock with full service history with every service between 10-12 k not the suggested 20k !!!
I work in brighouse and live in Warrington so it's roughly 50 miles to work with 95% roughly on the motorway.... At present I'm getting 435 ish mile on £40 , I had a 52 plate Audi A3 1.9tdi ( remapped ) and I was getting 514 miles ish on £40 ... So with past experience I'd say a remap is the way forward, not sure if you get the same gains with a tuning box or pedal
I've averaged 43mpg over the last 8k of driving. 60% b roads/duel carriageways, 40% around town. Happy with that considering I own a 165 auto elite. Just fill the tank whenever I need to, not worried where I buy my fuel or what type it is. Managed around the same mpg from my previous manual version with s/s. 50+ on long runs.
Prior to this I owned a 1.4t SE manual, managed around 40mpg from that one over 10k, same type driving cycle.

I'm a bit gutted... just took the wifes 2.0 ecoboost Siggy on a run from Exeter to Newcastle and was running the tripmeter to see what i could get over the 400 mile trip. About 20 miles from Newcastle, the bloody thing reset before i could grab a photo but was showing 66mpg at average 73mph. Usually get about 450 miles to a tank
My GTC is a bit ***** compared to the readings i see here... i have a 25 mile trip to work each day, 21 miles on motorway and 4 into town and average 42mpg if I'm careful and down to 36 if i run it with a heavy right foot
Was getting 38.4mpg average by calculation until Vauxhall very kindly replaced the engine under warranty, now getting 36.3mpg driven the same way of. The same routes. It's a 1.4T GTC. Only covered about 2500 miles on the new engine though so there is hope of improvement yet. No matter, it's all about smiles/miles and that it delivers.

Mid-range is really sluggish which is ok if I am pottering around town but as soon as I want a bit of torque theres none there, hence why I have a habit of keeping the revs high and drinking the fuel.
After reading on the forums im sure a remap would give that mid range where its needed but reluctant to invalidate the warranty!
Thats pretty much how mine feels.Iget around 31mpg.
1.6 whisper Diesel engine on 65 plate. Trip 1 at 53.6 and trip 2 52.0. I'm ok with these figures as over winter so hope to see improvements as weather improves.

I can only get about 2-3 miles of the speed limit then its start stop both too and from work.
My missus is building that road (designed the bridge over Don)
Hello! I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Luke and I've just been going through most of the forum reading up on how to do little modifications and reading about everyones cars!
They are all great and you are all so friendly!
I have the Astra J SRI VX Line 1.6 Turbo on a 2012 plate. I've had it for nearly a week and with my normal journey to work I get about 27-28mpg but I took the motorway this morning and was getting around 37mpg (instantaneous) sat at 75-80 with cruise control. (overall average 32.5mpg)
Think I'll be taking that route more often!
It'll be getting mapped soon to help with the lack of torque and hopefully the MPG a little bit!
LOL What are those fuel consumption for most of you I'm driving J 2011 sports tourer 2.0 160. When driving city I'm getting not more than 29mpg. This winter I was driving from Bulgaria to France for a ski vacation and never managed to make more than 39mpg. I assume something is wrong my car or...?? Would love an advise
34-37 mpg on short runs, a bit more on long runs. On 18" wheels.
Noticeably heavier on fuel than my two previous cars which were Passat estates, but then this one's an automatic.
It's forgivable though, because it's such a nice car to drive.
If it was good on fuel but gutless I'd be feeling different !
Fuel consumption's not everything.
I get 45mpg mixed town & motorway on the 2.0cdti, drops to 40mpg town only & all the way up to 57mpg on motorway only, if I set the cruise @70mph and don't touch it!

I would take that with a pinch of salt. My trip had the same reading, when I actually worked it out by filling it up and dividing the total mileage by number of litres I put in it came out as a true measurement of 52mpg. Still pretty good though.
1.7cdti Ecoflex with stop start on, mixture of urban and motorway.
