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

[DracZ]

Consumption can very quite a bit depending on the situation - I live near the city and most of my trips average <20 minutes, and are mostly of the start/stop variant. In those situations my car averages anywhere from 11-12l/100km. Recently drove to a friend's place in Cranbourne from the city which is about 50kms, reset the consumption meter and the car was averaging around 6~l/100km, non-stop cruising the whole way.

For reference the car has done roughly 3500kms, runs on BP ultimate and has had the ECU fix applied.

Not to my knowledge. I haven't actually seen this function on a car's display before...

Thanks corey,

Just wondering out loud why it's not available when the data is used to calculate fuel consumption. Would be nice to have litres used/remaining read out.

As per my earlier question is there a way of pulling up litres used on the dash.

Well just got back and filled up 36l and travelled 503kms at an Average of speed of 89km/h. Dash said 7.2l/100 and actual was just a bit less.

Not fantastic but the cruise was set to 116km/h which was 110km/h by the GPS. Car has less than 2k on the odo.

Neither the engine or the oil is run in yet. You'll notice a slight improvement after ~7000km & a noticeable improvement after 15,000km.

Now 450k's of the kays were highway and the rest city/town (estimated). Was expecting the avg to be in the sixes. BTW I was not driving for economy.
