Simes 248 2 Cars Posted March 1, 2015 Leave the 205 under a carport all year and commute on a Vespa. Oh, dam that's what I do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLPoomobile 958 Posted March 2, 2015 If the GTI is in good condition you shoukd be able to manage 30mpg in mixed conditions, inc not hanging around. Mid 30s on longer runs at a cruise. Just use it. I can't imagine the van is a practical commuter vehicle unless it's serving a purpose at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugfrank 14 1 Cars Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) My 205 is far from a minter, the usual wear and tear for a 22 year old car that's not had much love over years! Its structurally quite good but cosmetically quite poor! When I sort the engine bay wiring loom will use it to commute I reckon Edited March 6, 2015 by pugfrank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
u47sb2 27 2 Cars Posted March 6, 2015 I get 35-38mpg from my 1.6. But that is straight out of the door onto an A road then a B road with little (often no) other traffic at the times I use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
