    But it is usually more fun to drive it hard and with the paddle shifts is a lot of fun the result being that the trip computer usually sits around the 6 liters per 100 mark. I guess it probably read optimistic as well ??
    We have one of those too, white convertible with a red roof, my wife's first love! We use it a lot around town as we only need to find half a parking spot for it! Never seen it show less than 5L/100Km but that's probably because we don't do long trips in it and like you I like sticking the boot in and using paddle shifts. Now if only they would find a way to make the 1-2 gear change take less time than making a coffee!

    It depends on the speed limits and terrain.
    My best result in the FCCV Fuel Economy run was 4.6 litres over the 116km course => 4.0 l/100km (filled to the brim, vented, at both the start and completion) in my 1.9 PD Polo.
    You can see from the route below that the course was neither straight, nor flat, nor all highway.

    Our 2.0 Tdi Golf Mk6 will get around 5.0 l/100km on the highway without any special effort

    I use fuelly to log my consumption which is based on the odometer and the litres shown on the pump. It's usually within 0.2L/100km of what the trip computer says on both our VW's so in my experience the computer is pretty close to correct.

    I have a 07 MKV TDI and I regularly get over 900 out of a tank, not sure how much that would be in l/100 form. Btw it's city driving and use premium diesel if that's makes much difference

    Saying you get X amount out of a tank doesnt mean much when you look at it like this.

    I get 900km out of my Polo tank, also get 900k, out of my Passat tank and also got over 900 km out of my Landcruiser tank.

    Doesnt mean much when 1st tank is 44 L second is about 70L and third was 145L


    Sincerely hope you get more than 90 out of a tankful.

    Bit grumpy are we? Sounds like you are having a go. Let me clarify, I regularly fill up when the low fuel light comes up so in way it's pretty accurate per se. It takes around 44-47 liters on fill up..

    Ps: fixed up typo.

    Not growly at all but saying you get X amount per tankful is only useful if the tank capacity is known. As per my post it can look good if the size isnt known.
    I can go to Coffs and back from Brissy on a tankful in all 3 cars and say I did it on a tankful which sounds great.
    Until you say how many litres the tanks actually hold. Then its not so good.

    The only really accurate way, I outlined above, as different pumps cut off at different levels so may be several litres difference in a "Tankful"
    I used to fill the Cruiser till I could see the level of the fuel and take the odo reading so that it was bang on every time.

    I keep a log of my Yeti 103 DSG consumption. Currently, using the AC most of the time, it's averaging 6.55L/100km calculated at the pump. That's higher than it used to be[6.2] but I drive it harder these days. The average consumption is reading 6.0L/100km.
    So the actual consumption is 9% higher than the readout.
