The Octavia fuel consumption thread

[candy_wagon]

Hi everyone,

I have always thought of myself as a bit of a fuel consumption nerd and was wondering what sort of usage people are getting out of their Octy's.

I do a lot of highway driving in my job and don't drive like a knob, but I do like a good blast in the right conditions and circumstances.

In some way I guess this could lead to views on the change in consumption (both up and down) with modified cars.

I propose the following details with my car as the example:

Year & model - 2012 VRS TSI wagon with DSG
Mileage - 13,000km in 4 months
Modifications that may affect consumption - None
Average consumption according to MFD - Consistently around 8.1L/100km.

2007 118TSI M6 Elegance hatch. 105,000km in 4.5yrs
average consumption over the life of the vehicle = 6.7L/100km
The last few tanks have been 6.0L/100km because there are road works on my commute & a lot of it is 80kmh.
6.3L/100km average for the last 4,000km.

mods that may affect consumption: Bluefin remap (better down low, worse up top);30mm front spring drop (definitely improved the fuel consumption getting the nose closer to the road);16x7.5 wheels & 225/55x16 tyres - they weigh 3.5kg more per corner than OEM & they've removed the 10% innacuracy in both the speedo & the odometer. My xxL/100km is accurate whereas other Elegance hatches actually get xxL/90km & vRS's get xxL/94km;

I've been getting around 900km before the light comes on.

Here's my fuelly page, but I've been working so much I haven't had a chance to update it for awhile...
Actually, I'll do it now!

Ignore March, I spent the long weekend driving in and around a State Forrest (not doing more than 15, ever... lots of rocks)

2012 90TSI Liftback

Currently Driven: 10000km over the past 4 months. A lot of my trips are either to Sydney or Newcastle. Lots of freeway/main roads. I use it for delivery driving 5 nights a week too, which adds a bit.
Current Average: 6.2 L/100km.
Usual Average: 6.7-7 L/100km.
Best Average: 4.6 L/100km Oddly enough, was from Canberra to home via the bottom of the Blue Mountains, at the speed limit too... No air con on though, didn't need it.
Mods: None

Year & model - MY 2010 VRS TDI hatch manual
Mileage - 68,000 since new
Modifications that may affect consumption - None
Actual average fuel consumption = 6.55 L / 100 Km

For those people who have iPhones and who want to keep track of fuel consumption there is a great app called Accufuel (Remarkable Applications | Appigo) that I have been using since I got my Skoda. You can export the data as a csv file if you want to play with it more in Excel.

Signature says almost all.

Best intermediate distance indicated L/100 km has been 4.8 from Canberra to Sydney CBD (downhill), 4 persons no luggage.

Car is always very heavily loaded on country trips........

I've only put 3 or 4 tanks through mine (147 DSG) - has the APR ECU update
First tank only did 480km due to excessive right foot
Getting 515km out of a tank driving to work

(MFD says 6.7 over 14,000km from previous owner)

Just picked up my 2012 147 Manual wagon a few days ago, no mods.
Only done one tank so far, got 655km with 40km remaining when I filled up.
Pretty happy with that, the first 200km was suburban/city driving and the rest was a single return trip on country hwy from Melbourne to Shepparton/Kyabram and back.

ave 6.8 lt/100km on the way up and 6.5lt/100km on the way back, in the xr5 I used to get around 8.5lt/100km on the same trip.
