Woefully low kms ...

[DionM]

I've just realised that I have owned my Jetta since July 07 and in the 10months or so since then, I've only 3600kms.

Reason being is that shortly after I got the Jetta, my workplace decided to rebuild the carparking. This means that there is limited carparking available - they recycled an old storage yard, which is dirt and gravel littered with old bolts, screws, metal etc (know of several people who have lost a tyre). So I've been driving our battlewagon (Jeep).

So the Jettas only ever been driven on the weekend jaunts into the countryside ...

I'm going to feel a bit sheepish come 12mth service time, I doubt it will have even cracked 5000kms!

my suggestion - sell your jetta ...

Noooo

Once the carparks finished it'll be back to doing normal kays anyway (the Jeep is not a great vehiclearound town), I just couldn't believe how few kms it has on it already.

almost 9000 in 4 months of driving

Since my first fill up of the VR6 on 05/09/2007 I have done 5,659Km using a total of 667.68L of fuel which gives a running average of 11.80L/100Km.

Best fuel consumption for a tank: 8.64L/100Km
Worst fuel consumption for a tank: 14.51L/100Km

Running average Km/day: 24.68Km
Best average Km/day: 11.74Km
Worst average Km/day: 314.00Km

Shortest time between tanks: 1 day
Longest time between tanks: 31 days
Average days between tanks: 12.7days

There are graphs too...

As you can see I have too much time on my hands.

Do you use Excel?

Do you use Excel?

Use is such a small word. I spend half my life in Excel

In this case I use Pocket Excel on my PDA so I fill in the info while at the servo

BAH! Worst them me!

In the middle of making a spreadsheet up for this type of thing..... with the help of a couple of macros!


But I'm not as keen as you are with the PDA

[anarchycamp]

93,000 kms in 2 and half years and about 2,000 kms in the last 6 months....GTI has been retired to weekend work

And I thought I was a nerd.

[The_Hawk]

It's actually a smartphone, so it's *slightly* less nerdy than carrying a PDA round too :rollseyes:

The sheet as it stands now needs the odometer reading, the litres of fuel and the date which then does a straight calculation to show a most of those figures, the minimum and maximum's I pulled out seperately, but then the sheet can't be too complex or Pocket Excel doesn't know what to do with it.

Your more than welcome to a copy of what I have if you want it. PM on the off chance I forget to come and read this thread.

Bah! It's a diesel! It LIVES for big Ks!!
Just think of the fuel bill should you have boo-booed and bought a petrol Land Bruiser instead!
