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

[walbjj]

ive found the "consumption" reading to be pretty inaccurate. by at least 1l/100km, i just calculate it manually every fillup

[brad]

words in your mouth, foot in ours.

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

[walbjj]

another fillup today, 583km travelled, put in 50.23l@ 145.9c =$73.28.
thats about 8.6l/100km, which is what ive been getting the past half dozen fillups. i drive in sydney traffic everyday, and dont get the urge or opportunity to razz the car much at all.
oh, it showed 25km remaining

[stephen8512]

14K kms.... Meaning approx 14 thousand

Who said it was a single 40km trip? I dont think i said that anywhere? That photo was taken after about 10 minutes driving. I had travelled roughly 33km the day before.

Plz learn to read before putting words in my mouth

[Corey_R]

Aaah... didn't even read that...
That's even worse then!

[brad]

And that's not a good sign, considering that was a single 40.3km trip...

huh? OP said 14km. Who knows how the previous 26km was done.

[brad]

i find mine has 10 ltrs left when light comes on & says about 130 to go as when i fill to first click it takes 45ltrs & its a 55ltr tank

Fair enough. I'm sure there is a level of difference from car-to-car.

I didn't mention DTE because I've had LOW FUEL come on anywhere between 70km & 120km depending on what avg consumption#1 was reading at the time.

yes it will improve.

this is the lowest i got from my Golf R so far after 14K odd kms worth of driving

[Firstgolfr]

I've only done 1200kms in my Golf R and the average is showing as 12.8l/100km!! Will that improve?

The fuel warning comes on with about 7-8L remaining. When it stops telling you that you have kilometres remaining (you get a couple of underscores instead), there is about 3-4L.

thats great, thanks guys!

[walbjj]

I've driven it til it had 0 km showing and had to drive it a few km to a petrol station, I then managed to Put 53l in. So theoretically it had 2 litres left so at least 20 more km

Hi all

Just a quick one, noticed my fuel warning light has come on for the first time on my new mk6 GTI, apparently there is 50km's left and the needle has hit the upper point of the red zone... generally how far could you theoretically milk it? In my old car, i could probably drive another 50km's once the needle had gone past the very last notch, obviously not the best thing to do on a regular basis But i know that even though it might say its empty they tend to leave a bit of leeway of a few litres to be safe.

Grab a 5L jerry can and keep driving until she runs out??
