VR6 MFA Numbers

[Golf Loon]

Right you guys with VR6s, what fuel consuption do you get according to your MFA. On the wifes VR6 Passat Auto, I get 14 sometimes if driving enthusiastically and 10.00 is my best ever.

Seriously thinking about a manual conversion as the power is there, but its just too slow to pick up.

Give me some figures to dazzle the girl with!

ye but thats highway.. i had urban in mind, i think my one is rather high... at least i think so...

Yeah well the Passat is heavier than a golf, but not much, but it is auto. Just put 17s on it too which will prob effect the speedo and mfa too!

i normally get 11-12 in heavy traffic or 10ish if isnt not so stop start. 8s on the fwy

[golfvr6]

my vr6:

heavy sydney traffic - 25-30km/h stop start = high 13's-14

freeway - high 8's

They've got a really thirsty idle. For any city drive they'll use a third less at four in the morning.

[Golf Loon]

Less delays at 4 in the morning too though!

MkIII VR6

This is for my MkIII Golf VR6 - manual.

City driving - 11 to 13 l/100km
Highway - 8 - 9 l/100km

It obviously depends on how hard it's driven, but over a tank it generall averages out to be 11 l/100km and that's with quite a bit more city than highway driving. I've seen highway driving down in the 7s, but that's rare.

I did notice that when I had the GIAC chip installed, that gave me 1l/100km _better_ fuel consumption, and the same benefit from changing from roadstone tyres that were on it when I got it, to some nice Yokohamas...

I didn't buy a VR6 to get fuel economy, I bought for fun.Often I see 86l/100km on the dash readout when I'm having fun! Sometimes alittle less.
