Average K's per tank?

[gtiono]

Am just curious with the driving habits of Mk4 GTI owners.

How many K's per tank do you think you average? (assuming you take note at some point in time)

I do about 500 on mine using 98RON.

Generally get around 500km before the fuel warning light comes on.
I then fill up straight away; I don't believe it is a good practice to try and "empty" the tank completley.
I am averaging 9.2L/100km on the Trip Computer (2).

I usually get about 400k's on it, but my car is chipped and i do occasionally enjoy hammering it...but what should be norm? or considered to be normal.

But say if your using alot more fuel than you should and you drive it in a decent way what could be the problem???

mine does pretty well, 450-550 in the city (and i live in the CITY CITY too) .. and best ive got so far is 690odd which included driving to canberra, return and work for a week as well. and thats mod'd and led foot problems too...

my 1.6 Polo does alright on a long trip, until you take someone with you, and then it goes stupid.... i think i got about 11 last long trip

i average at about 7.5 on the trip meter...
my gti is stock, and i do about 70kms a day, about 45 of that is highway > 80km/h

tank tends to last towards 650 - 700 before the light comes on... dependign on what petrol i'm using and how fast i feel like accelerating.

I guess it must be the highway driving, in the opposite direction to peak hour traffic, and with minimal stopping, pretty much at constant speed. When I’m on the highways my trip meter tells me < 5.5 l/100km at most times, unless I’m overtaking or something…

Before I hit the highways it will normally be around 9 l/100km

600+ for a led foot seems pretty impressive. Did you also mod your fuel tank?

Does anyone else notice you seem to get a hell of alot more out of the first half tank than the second half? (taking it to the warning light).

[mikinoz]

I had a 1.6 and used to get near 700km/tank!

Yea i agree you get to half the tank and you've used soo little but the second half it all disapears...my trip comp says im using an average of 13l/100 :s

Yep I noticed it. I also noticed the same thing on my old Mazda as well
