Just something I was wondering. Those of us who use our cars mainly for short, stop start journeys have to deal with pretty horrific fuel economy (Due to the Air/Fuel ratio being completely out of whack due to the engine trying to warm-up ASAP by running extremely lean). Then you've got to think about all the stopping/starting which doesn't help either if you commute in a town or city.
Anyway, I was just wondering what sort of MPG figures those of us with short commutes (No longer than 10 miles each way) were getting?
I'm racking up about 12MPGish from the Soarer. Used to get 14MPG from the GTI (2.0) and 24MPG from my little 205 XS (1.4 Carb) from a 6 mile commute with a fair bit of stopping and starting.
P.S, they isn't a "OMG, I get Low MPGzzz" rant, just a general interest thing
