best i have gotten is 7.5L/100k's out of my jetta. 2.0TSI with stage 1 APR ecu flash.
It was on a trip to Queensland cruising at 110kmh with 3 adults a baby and a boot full of luggage.
my average during the week - mixture of freeway and suburban driving - is about 8L/100k's

I'm going to buy a Mark 5 GTi soon when I sell the wife's current car - I'm interested in this thread for anyone who can tell me what the normal - gently driven - fuel consumption should be please ? (my wife isn't a girl racer and acceleration is gentle, with speed limits being stuck to)
Anyone have mapping? If it's equivalent to Viezu's 40hp/85nm - what do you get with that on, and a harder map - if there is an equivalent to Viezu's motorsport 70hp/100nm map then what about that??
I get about 10% fuel savings on my current car with a motorsport map but that's a 3.4 NA porka. I hoped it would be the same story with the VAG engines......
Or should I be looking at a TDi ? I've always had CDi Mercs before which map very well but fancy a GTi for mapping purposes if the eco is ok
I do mostly motorway driving, and get around 720k's per tank. 6.6 l/per 100.
If I'm just using it around town I get around 600k's per tank. Only mods are X-Force cat back and Piper-cross panel filter.
MKV GTI Manual. Best I have had is several runs up the valley at 6.8L/100kms which is around 720kms but my average around town is 9.5L/100kms which is 510kms.
Personally I don't see the point in people who choose the 2.0tdi GT over the GTI just for fuel consumption if you do the math on how many kms you do per year and the saving of a diesel it works out to be only a few hundred dollars per year, unless of course you're doing huge kms a year like 50,000kms then it totally makes sense to go with a TDI.
