[daft009]

averaging around 600-650km out of the 60lt tank in the R.
love the car & the power..do miss the Mk5 Golf GT TDI economy though

So you run it dry ?

Nice

I keep a fuel economy spd sheet (because I can) and based upon the economy achieved since the last fill I also calculate the maximum number of kms I could have done on that tank. On average, over the last 10,000km, I could have achieved 642km per tank

I just finished a 100hr cycle at 7.5, so pretty happy with that.
I'm rarely in heavy traffic, and usually go 600km+ before filling up.

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...

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

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

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

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

[Candyman]

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.

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
