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

Yes just the 1 or 2 program reset

That's pretty normal behaviour for engines as far as I know. They bed in and get better with a little age under the belt.

How do you reset your MFD? Are you talking about the 1 or 2 program reset. My 1 resets itself automatically after a few hours at rest.

Can anyone give me a link to the gear ratio difference between the 7 speed DSG and the 6 speed manual. I couldn't find them in the online brochure.

reset your MFD Average consumption counter. Mine sat flat at 11.5 no matter what sort of driving I did. After a reset it fluctuates with my right foot

think my engine in the R is still being run in.

drove SYD to MELB with 1000km on the odo and averaged around 10l/100km
drove back with 4000km on the odo and averaged high 8s/100km

Calculated use (although identical to the MFD)

Out GTI used to get under 7 on interstate trips

I normally don't bother with fuel consumption data but this was a good opportunity to compare it to our GTI and also respond to my gourmet meal and rice cake comment

The R sat on 115 all the way from Melbourne to Sydney apart from a few short stops.

Short blasts now and then either overtaking or just for kicks

Overall, 7.8 l/100km.

Is that on the MFD or using the amount of fuel needed to refill each time? Either way, that's not far off of the 118 on the same drive.
It's good to see that the R can be sensible when needed.

My R has achieved a magical 0.00 litres fuel consumption this week. Unbelievable!.......might be coz I haven't driven it

[Candyman]

Well, 10 hours back tomorrow so will hit cruise and see what happens.

+1

if you get 600 you are long haul

[vale46]

I don't know how anyone gets 600km+. I think I'm doing well if I get over 450km.

+1.... I'm lucky to get 450kms.

Owning an R and keeping track of fuel use is like ordering a gourmet meal and eating rice crackers

[daft009]

So you run it dry ?

Nice

no no sorry not dry.. just very close to going by the distance to empty figure.
should really keep track of kms vs amount filled.. one of these days...
