The MK6 Fuel Consumption (Most / Least per Tank) Thread

[Rosey456]

Its meant to do 12 or so around town so 14.4 seems about right.
Similar to my old WRX.

wowers that is high.. I have a stage 1 and I average 11.5. If I take her for a long run it drops into the 8s

[Rosey456]

Just ticked over 10,000km
Avg 14.4L/100km
90% city driving

[SMOK3Y]

pretty sure 55 litres (then neck)

lat 3 tanks have been 5.2 Per 100

Put in 51.86l, what's the capacity of the mk6 gti again? I recall someone mentioning it's 47l and then reserve tank of 5l, so 52l

Past 3 weeks sitting 680 from a tank.

Pretty happy.

Averaged 5.8 l/100km going from sydney to port macquarie and back... Predominently freeway driving with aircon on all the time. I drove speedo indicating 118km/hr (which is 111km/hr on GPS)

Is your Golf DSG??

I've never hit 800.. All my driving thus far has been city and the best I've got from a full tank was about 780 (light on, 0km range lol)..

I'd love to see the range from a full tank on the highway.. If I can even get close to 1000 I'd be over the moon!

its a manual mate if ive been floggin it in the 60k zones ill get same as you but most of my driving is highway (m1 about 80%) last tank
just got 815 till light came on it reckons 100 to go but once she hits in the red she seem to go down quick lol. ill tell ya how it goes on 11th
march (going to mackay)

Whats the best cruising speed for the 118 TSI? the trip computer claims consumption at around 5.8L/100km when I'm doing about 90km/hr but never have the patience to hold it at that speed for long. Plus its probably not safe on the motorway

If I'm on a call, I'll often drop into the slow lane & sit on 80-90kmh. It's no drama & nobody seems overly upset - it's the slow lane after-all........ If someone tried it in the fast lane I'd go burko.

i ought to try doin a tank without cruise control i use it 99% of time (even 60k zone lol) but i get 8/850 till light comes on with cruise, but best economy is usually by foot lol. just too lazy i think. im going to mackay in march so will see how it goes (bout 1000ks)

Well after 6 months and 15000km's my little 77TSI is now averaging about 5.4l/100kms 80% highway driving and I think that's about as good as it gets. I must say it's nice to get close to 900kms on a tank of petrol...

As an experiment I did 1 tank running at what I thought was optimal fuel efficiency speed of 100kms/hr on the highway and managed to get 5.2l/100kms but I hated being 10km/hr under the speed limit and gave up after 600kms... I felt like a grandpa...

Interesting to see the 118TSI does 5.5 with highway travel.

Especially as 100 on the speedo is more likely to be around 92-3 km/hr.

You won't get anything like that tomorrow

Are you on Guy's payroll?

hahahahaha i should be! He should give me the APR exhaust now with the amount of free plugs given! I took a picture just to prove it too on the blackberry ( quality not the best though...) I think it is better now after a few thousand clicks on the clock, engine should be pretty loose, especially after the oil/filter change
