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

[Candyman]

Perhaps but would you not enjoy the same power with less fuel use ?

Let's put fuel up to $5/L

How do you feel now

Nothing wrong with discussing fuel use on performance cars

In fact, a good discussion as it relates to how good the tune can be.

If my primary concern in buying a Golf was fuel consumption then of course I would have bought a diesel but I'm ecstatic to say I didn't! Happily, my primary concern was performance and everytime I put my foot down, I am vindicated in my choice by a deep throaty roar that builds into a howl as I am pinned to my seat by g forces not generated by any other stock GTI built thus far. Care factor for fuel consumption at this point is about 2/10. Happy motoring gents!

First tank in the GTD, 660 km so far with 125 km to go according to the car.

I use the 'fuel log' android app to track consumption. No figures yet of course.

I'm averaging 550 a tank. And that is filling up before I get the warning buzzer.

Most of my driving is Military Road/Pacific Highway then expressway or country roads.

Apr stg2 with man. I rarely gun it to redline if ever. Usually hit 300-340km when it gets to half tank, that usually gives me a good idea if I'm being conservative, but 600 is pretty much the norm for me now

[Finance_Analyst]

The APR Stage 1 will improve on it too!

I get around (if you believe the MFD) 570-590km a tank, that is mainly city driving. I have a light foot 95% of the time.

Man, those numbers r woeful. My gti has now done a touch over 9k km, routinely getting 600+ km or low to mid 8l/100 km.
All sydney traffic peak hr, thru chatswood and military rd.
I must be light footed

i drive very easy and i am always a shade under 500 k per tank - amazing the difference really

mostly peak ish traffic (but not bumper to bumper and alweays moving) with a little freeway driving

[Candyman]

So it's not just the AWD that causes issues...

The AWD fixes issues

[Ideo]

On its third tank of 98 octane, my ED35 is averaging 320kms/tank! Admittedly it is all inner Sydney stop/ start driving with some spirited efforts occasionally but generally trying to keep it under 4000rpm. A big difference to my MKV GTI but I guess KO4 = higher consumption and more than happy to accept it as part of an amazing car but still hoping it improves!

I corrected my MFD by fitting bigger wheels on
I know mine isn't a mk6 but it's quite close... my Caddy doesn't match factory claimed 5.9L/100km. It's now at 6.3L/100km long term and coming down.
I think my driving is OK, because my previous Caddy, claimed was 6.2L/100km and with the same size wheels I was averaging 5.3L/100km
Coming up to first service, I expect to see a big improvement!

words in your mouth, foot in ours.

could ask you to learn to put in all the zeros & commas

didnt think it was necessary with the picture showing 14383kms and my initial post saying "14K odd kms worth of driving"...thought it was obvious enough? But duly noted

[Rosey456]

Golf R - DSG
3200km on the clock and MFD shows an average of 12.0/100m.
If I hadnt been to the Island last week it would be closer to 14/100km. Very little freeway stuff.

you can tweak it with vcds. I got mine right on the money. VCDS even gives you an equation to work out how much to adjust it.
