    I've had my GTI for just over a month and I'm only using BP Ultimate.

    I've filled up a few times and I'm logging the details into my phone. So far;

    Average L/100: 9.91
    Best L/100: 9.37
    Average KM per Fill Up: 516.33

    Would be interested to see what others get too

    I'm using Caltex 95 in my MkVI GTI - 4 fills so far and best economy was 7.4l/100km (mixed city and country driving) and the worst was the first one - 9.3l/100km.

    I'm curious about BP Ultimate but have no station near me. I don't know whether I really believe there is a notable difference but would love an independent study (like CHOICE) to do some proofing for us.
    GTI, 5 dr DSG, Tornado Red

    So I've done around 1300kms in mine now, dont drive it every day, and have used solely Shell V-Power.

    Average fuel for the past ~460km has been around 8.2l (solely Sydney City driving)
    Average overall - 10.2l (this includes one GTG and some spirited driving mind you)

    Funnily the more I drive the better the fuel economy seems to get, but this I think is pretty normal.

    Impressive numbers there

    Best single trip I've done got me 6.4l/100km. Tulla Fwy then onto the Eastern Fwy.

    Can't help myself, I gotta give it a squirt when I get a chance.
