We did an overnight run on the weekend from Perth to Bridgetown in the SW of WA a round trip of 627 klm and averaged 5.2l/100klm. The trip home returned 5.0l/100klm. At one point the computer said we'd get 1130 from the tank. Once back in the city the consumption increased a bit and I filled up at 943 with 70 left. How much better can it get?

I've just returned from a round trip from Brisbane to Portland in Victoria with the T5 DC fully loaded with race gear and towing a car trailer and race car. Total distance approx 5000 kilometres.
The T5 returned 10-11 litres per 100 kilometres - outstanding for the amount of gear it was carrying and towing. She cruised at all legal speeds, and tackled hills like they weren't even there. I never felt that the car laboured under any circumstances, and it performed brilliantly.
I was in convoy with five other race outfits, and the T5 only needed to be filled every second stop compared to all the other cars. This roughly worked out at between 650 - 700 kilometres between fuel stops. Around town with light loads (engine, gearboxes, trade stall items) and no trailer, I average about 750-800 kilometres, approx best of about 9 litres per 100 clicks. Very good figures for a heavy, but mighty useful truck.

Hi all,
6 week old Passat Wagon (TDI, 125 kW) with now just under 5000 km on the clock. Tank size nominally 70 litres.
Drove Melbourne-Sydney via Gippsland-Monaro Hwy plus some Sydney driving. All up 1129 km on 66.59 litres (OK, I stopped short of the number of the beast!!). Works out to 5.9 l/100 km which I think is pretty good for this car (size/weight, and engine/performance). Didn't really drive for economy so there's a bit better in it, particularly since the engine is not quite run in yet.
I'm happy!
Seeya,

I never let my tank get even close to empty. As soon as the warning light on my TDI comes on, I fill up, or in the case of my GLD when the needle gets to 1/4 full.
Two days ago I did 300km in the TDI with 3 large adults and heavy luggage on board with a figure of 5.0L/100km. 24,000km on the clock and still tight.

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.
