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

[Romp]

Just hit 3000kms on the Gti.
Averaged about 670km out of full tank.

Which is mighty impressive, considering I was only getting 350-400km before.

What did u do to improve it?

I just drove like a pensioner coz of double demerits and did 6.8l/100km

Changed fuel.

From BP 98 to Shell V power.

Shell seems to give a smoother ride + more milage.

I'm still abit heavy on the foot.

I have to admit after years of using 98 that Shell is my pick.. had 1 or 2 dud tanks but generally is just makes the car run smoother

fifth gear did a comparison a year ago on this and proved it YouTube - 5th Gear - High Octane Fuels

I just did a run to the Sunshine Coast and back.Fully loaded on the way up with a bit of fun while there and back today and averaged 9.15L/100KM.I'm pretty happy with that result considering it hovers around 14L/100 down here.
It ran like a top!I'm very happy with it.

Likewise for me, came back from a run down south 700kms average 9.3 l/100km mainly country 100-110kph, some brief squirts through some twisties

I'm heading up the coast for a week of pretty gentle cruising. Be interesting to see how it goes.

just needed to know, does the breaking in of your engine have anything to do with fuel consumption? eg. if you break it in right you'll constantly use lesser fuel. i'm getting ~7.1L/100 km on my 118TSI that has 2200km on it. doesnt seem to be going down

That sounds about right in real life conditions - it all depends on your right foot. What did you think it will be?
Maybe just enjoy the new car and stop worrying about FC

Pretty much what I got.I'm not complaining.If I wanted economy,I would've bought a diesel.
I'm happy with my figures and don't want to drive like I'm on my last gallon!

yes it does. I had a big consumption drop at 5000km & another noticeable drop at 15,000km. They take a while to break-in fully.

it claimed a 6.1/100km figure. and while i know its pretty much impossible to get that, i was expecting smth like a 6.5? i dont drive my car hard so i'm just puzzled that bout the figures. (my previous Mazda2 with a claimed 6.8/100km returned 6.9/100km)
haha FC is pretty impt to me (hence the 118TSI over the GTI). i'm still in uni and it adds up to ~ $5 more a week. its almost like my car is taking my lunch money once a week lol.
