Fuel Consumption - How's THAT going ?

[kure69]

3200km on the clock on my 90tsi.

Recently did a few trips from Melbourne to Geelong Lorne. 4.7l/100km with aveg speed 80km. 4 people in the car, boot full gear and aircon on and about 38deg out side. With out the air con on it will drop even further to about 4.5 easy.

What can I say, every happy for petrol engine to be getting these results.

3000km on my GTI with DSG. Spends most of its time in ECO mode with mostly city driving and the odd highway run. Have done a few spirited national park runs.

Sammy, did you sell (part out?) your Mk6? Decided to go DSG this time?

Just a follow up on the original post.
Fuel consumption after 4000km hasn't changed much.
Comfortline 90 TSI with DSG in Economy mode (just about always) coasting a lot where practical.
Mostly outer urban driving. 1 person on board with beloved golf clubs
Long term average 5.2l per 100km Some tanks were 5l per 100km

Finally, 2 months after I took delivery of my 103kW TSI Highline, it was time for some fuel. The car has had a very quiet start to its life, covering just 614KMs in those 2 months, all of which were in reasonably heavy urban traffic. Fuel economy was 8.4L per 100KM.

Curiously, I thought the tank capacity was 50L? I still had 35KM range showing at the point of refuelling and yet, without really brimming it, I got 51.84L of fuel into it!

It's a 55 litre tank I think

Well, the book says 50lt, and I'm not getting as far on a fill as I did with the 55lt Mk6.

Book says approx 50L of which approx 5L is reserve. I have found it easy to fill with 50L when the gauge has just entered the red and there is still between 50km to 80km showing on the range of the MFD.

The reason I'm curious about this is to understand just how low I had run the car. Was it running on fumes or maybe it still had 5L in it? There must be a definitive answer and I'm guessing that it's not the 50L referred to in the handbook.

I have read somewhere on one of the forums of someone claiming they had put over 56L in theirs and it was still running at the time.

Took the GTI for a drive through the mountains yesterday and did some 480kms. Got down to 5.8L/100km then ended up at 6.5L/100km after we had fun in the mountains. Not bad for having 1700ks on it.
