No idea how you are obtaining those numbers lol.
Tsi comfortline, 6000kms, drive around in normal D mode - long term 7.8l/100kms. 98RON
Mostly city driving, which mind you I'm still pretty happy getting 550-600 kms out of a tank where my old mk5 gti had trouble getting above 400 for the same use !
The Op's city driving conditions could be very different to yours. Also, he may've mastered how to drive for the fuel economy. ;)Quote:

Thanks for your replies. After I wrote the post I realised that most MK7's won't have Economy mode as I think it only comes with the Driver assist package. (Is that right ?) Anyway I don't have tuned suspension and I don't "flog" the car but a little sport mode is always on the go :-) Economy mode has coasting - so you get used to taking your foot off the pedal coming to lights, intersections etc and then you realise just how far the Golf will coast for and maintain speed. I am taking my foot off the accelerator earlier and earlier and still getting there. This is probably one reason for the fuel consumption figures. A tank is good for just over 900km. This is great as it is more fuel efficient that my Suzuki Alto.As I said in the original post I drive outer urban which has little stop start ( but some). However the last tank had a fair amount of driving in very urban areas (Preston Reservior Bundoora Greensborough etc (Melbourne). I'm hoping that as the engine frees up fuel consumption will improve.
GECKOzao - you have DA package, do you drive in economy ?
My long term is 6.2L/100km based on 2900km from the day I picked it up. That includes a ~800km round trip when the car had 400kms on it where the car averaged 5.3L/100km.
I wouldn't be surprised if the economy improves slightly over the next ~6mths. I give it a rev every now and then, put that turbo to work, but nothing too stressful.
I've got a base 90TSI manual.
I have the least economical of the low powered Mk7 Golfs, the 90 TSI manual. The long term average for the first 10,000km was 5.2L/100km and at 17,000km the second reading for the long term average is at 5.4L/100km. That is a direct reflection on the extra city work it has done recently.
I find consumption depends on where I drive it more than how I drive it. A 130km run from Toowoomba to Brisbane with an elevation drop of 700m gives me a regular average of 4.2 but the return trip is usually around 5. Cruising out in the west around an indicated 105 km/h gives in the high 4's. I have never managed to do any extended city driving to get a city average.
What are the figures for TDI drivers getting??
It should be better, and even the lead footed would achieve very good fuel economy. You can drive TDI reasonably fast and still get a good fuel economy unlike the TSI engines. Also in very heavy traffic, bumper to bumper will make a big difference between TSI and TDI. With the diesel returning much better fuel economy than the TSI. :)
I can get 8.5L/100 in Adelaide's crazy roadworks morning traffic in the 3.0L V6TDI Touareg, that weights 1000kg more than Golf. :grin:
110TDI, long term currently 6.4L/100km. Short trips between home and work only. Yes, I try and do a long drive every now and then to burn off soot. 4000km on the odometer.Quote:

I wonder what is the average speed you guys are doing, because it can give a general idea of how much traffic/HWY you guys do as well.
I have the base model, 90TSi.
The long term average speed is about 30km/h
It is 7.4L/100Km based on 1534km
Mainly city drive, pretty heavy traffic.
picked up my car yesterday, from south yarra to city, dealer changed driving mode to sports..so it was around 12L/100km
and went from city to box hill for dinner and return, fuel reduced to 8L/100km.
60km so far...lol
When and where you drive will always make a massive difference coupled with HOW you drive.
In my cars I tend to get higher average, mostly because of how I drive which isn't helped by the fact it's short local trips through suburbia... so plenty of opportunity for hard acceleration :P If I totally baby it I can literally halve my consumption on the same trip.
Anyone who does any sort of distance on the freeway will tend to get a more consistent (and lower) consumption figure since there is less chance of variation on that sort of trip. (Anyone doing their driving on roads at 80/90 will get the best consumptions since that's about the most efficient possible speed to drive).
My average speed is 41km. As I said I drive mostly outer suburban. My run to the golf course is 1 traffic light and 6 roundabouts - probs would only come to a full stop once or twice. The drive is 15km each way. Others is more traffic lights and stop start.
Just filled up with 98 Ron - this time. Done 80 km and its sitting on 5.1l per 100km. BUT I do drive in economy mode, use coasting mode where possible.
I have a Drivers Assitance package which others may not have access too. This is a very fuel efficient mode. Normally I would be in 7th gear at 60km/h
ive seen quite a few people in the forum have the DA package. in terms of fuel efficiency, DA package have eco driving mode and thats about it. i havent done any test to compare the fuel consumption between different driving modes, especially interested in normal and eco, if any one has done it please post the results here!Quote:

1900kms in 90TSI Comfortline DSG. Long term 6.7/100, but it's being run in and i'm varying my driving style a fair bit.i did hear the dreaded waste gate rattle today in S mode :(.
Highline 103 TSI
long term average after 6800 km, 5.7 l/100km
mostly city and freeway driving
Waste gate rattle ? Please explain :-)

300km in, getting average of 5.15 L per 100 km.
So have reached the 1000km mark from a tank. This has been a mix of urban and outer urban.
Economy mode.
Just refueled the TDI 110.
6.2L/100km, 43km/h average.
15 mins one way travel to and from work, Mon to Fri. All travel below 60km/h suburban streets.
TSI 103, 6.8L/100km, 34km/h average, mainly in Eco mode (otherwise Sport). Commute from outskirts of Melbourne to inner city. Regularly see 4.5-5L/100km instantaneous on the freeway. Doing a rural run this weekend, so will be interested in the difference.
57 kph
and I got the long term average consumption incorrect, it is 5.5 l/100km
thats good, i will be expecting a figure close to 6.8 after run-in perid.Quote:

Just an update - now 4000km old and last tank averaging a bit under 5L per 100km - pretty happy.
That's economy mode outer urban driving.
Well on my GTD it's getting better and better. From my journey home from work last night (quite a good run), and this is with an ambient temperature of only 4°C - it is winter in the UK afterall :)
BTW, in new money that's 4.7 litres per 100 kms, and the car's currently got 2,500 miles (4,000 km) on it. Not too shabby for a car with 184ps ?

Damn we have not got ours under 6 everyone getting such low numbers! Maybe out trips out too short in Canberra
I've only done 1000km. Average overall is about 5.6. We drove to Bathurst for a funeral last week and we managed 4.8 for the trip, even with going over the blue mountains, driving at the speed limit, though gentle with the accelerator while the car is being run in. So I'm stoked with the fuel economy.
after 4k my consumption is about 6.5, 70% city and 30% freeway.
im sort of regretting if i shouldve got TDI instead. :(
Can any GTI drivers chime in? Would like to know what they're getting as i'm tossing up between a TSI or TDI vRS when it comes out in a couple months.
Currently doing about 800-900kms per full take using 98RON Shell V-Power in my 90tsi Comfortline.
In the old money that is a combined consumption of 43mpg.Quote:
