Cheers John...that's why... US gallons 32-33mpg is all I ever had with urban to long distance looks like I'll achieve that out of my new ride according to my initial recordings brim to brim.johnd wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:01 pmIt's a quirk of Fuelly - you must remember to select non-US units on the display rather than the US mpg default. Actual mpg is 32mpg in UK terms, or an indicated 34-35mpg.
I do a mixture of commuting, which is just 5-6 miles (but isn't practicably done any other way), local shopping and longer (50-100 mile) trips, usually at least once a week. (Though in these rural but heavily trafficked parts even the longer journeys are typically at 55-65mph max but with a lot of braking for Z-bends etc and then accelerating away again, overtaking etc.) But the commuting is pretty much daily so that obviously pulls the average mpg down as well.

So far Col it's very compliant and that's with standard suspension not adjustable so quite surprised as I'm now running 235 35 19 michelin pilot sport 4 S .. This newly developed tyre from the super sport is by far the best tyre I've used. The grip is sensational and way beyond the 306bhp thrown at them through the Golf/bug
As this (I promise this time) is going to be a keeper I wanted to go back to as little to go wrong in future as possible including the suspension system.
The DSG is as much complex/expensive as I wanted to Go..
The ride is more taught than air on a Macan of cause but never harsh even over rough tarmac.
dynamic control DCC on the golf is very much like Pasms but wasn't something I wanted past warranty.

Thanks Arif. ...and thanks for your advice on the R this inspired Me to look into it while I had good equity left in my Macan..
After driving one with 19"s and DCC I was hooked and it's a bargain at 40% the cost of My Mac-T.
Love your wagon.. I've got those 18" wheels wrapped in winter rubber ready for the snow..
Fabulous to wash 15 seconds a wheel..

Hi Jon. I have been away for a little while and don't have the time at the moment to follow the forum on a daily basis . What happened that the Turbo went?

Making the most of a forced situation. Well done you. By the looks of things you're still logging on frequently though which pleases me (and I suppose others) no end. To me, you are in the honorary group of individuals who made this forum what it is today.

Thanks indeed Nosmo..
being more of an analogue chap I've only added my take on things practicaly. And from My experiences of enthusiastic Macan/Porsche ownership, so I'm glad it's been of some use to those new to both the Macan and Porsche.. once an enthusiast always an enthusiast.
Kind regards
Jon

Jon, I have been retired for near on three years and can thoroughly recommend it.
The only downside is the health issues I have, but by making the most of the good days we are having a great time.
Every day offers the chance to do what we want to do, no time pressures, no boss, no staff, no work cr4p to deal with, no idiot plonker Managers to have to barely tolerate.
Every day starts and ends in a smile.
So kickstart youself and enjoy life.

Thanks Col. That's great advice. And just what I probably need to hear.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2017 2:51 pm Jon, I have been retired for near on three years and can thoroughly recommend it.

I'm certainly not missing the trials and tribulations of what you say that we are thrust into every day..
As much as I loved my Job it could be all consuming at the same time. And there's always that unforeseen situation that really frustrates one to the core.
As you say I need to adjust my thinking drastically which I'm managing to come to terms with.
