What is your furtherest on a tank?

[THR]

It just so happens this weekend and the next two are our cricket finals - so playing cricket from 1pm to 6pm each day.

Plus, in my area if you don't get a park by 7pm and keep it for the night, you won't get one!

So, very much want to go for a long drive but can't for a few weeks!

But Easter is coming up

I've got 1065 Km from my polo TDI (45 litre tank capacity plus around 9 litres 'overfill'). Can't beat it in terms of economy, great little car.

[THR]

^ That's great figures...

Agree the Polo is a good car (and especially the TDI). I test drove the Polo (petrol) before I test drove the Golf and having tested the Japanese vehicles, that for me was a deciding factor to get a VW.

(Of course, I then tested the Golf and after that the TDI and the decision was made.)

Can't wait until I see the economy I am getting out of my TDI once I have a few KM's on the clock.

the economy really starts to get good after 30000kms from what ive heard

With the dpc fitted and flogging it around town im getting 600ks out of my polo and in the highway im getting anything from 900 too 1100 ks

Not a VW but i saw at the motor show today a peugeot 308 im assuming diesel as it had no badges that completed a 14,000km odd trip around australia and averaged 3.19 l/100 so getting 1900 km per tank on average. apparently its in the guinness book of records.


actually, found it.

Jan hi.
What fuel did you use? The new diesel on trial or regular diesel.
Would be good if you can test the new stuff on the same run
if you only had regular or vise versa.
I know you mentioned before not much difference around town
but wondering how the new stuff goes on the open road.

Neil,
It had 1/2 tank of Shell, but we topped up with normal BP on the way out of town. If I give you my bank details I'd be happy to do it again with the new BP Ultimate diesel ....lol, but yes it would be ineresting to compare. Mind you 5.2 on the round trip is not to be sneezed at. Maybe a run north to Geraldton.

Recently traded from 2.0tdi GolfV to TDI Eos. Best tankful I had out of the Golf was last August and covered 1125kms on 53 litres and that was daily driving not in one stretch. Incidentally that was post chipping. The Eos is getting 1000kms /tank at the moment at 5500kms so still running in. Best trip so far was 4.3 l/100km averaged over 40km.

[THR]

Only done about 180km so it's still too early to tell but most trips are up around the 11-13 mark.

Can't wait to get the good fuel economy

Jan hi.
Don't think the bank can transfer from a zero balance account.
Good try.
