2015/16 Polo GTI Real World Fuel Consumption

[Lucas_R]

My old Mk6 Golf R which was stage 2+ tuned averaged 9.5L per 100km with 90% of those trips being short (under 20mins).

My current Golf Mk6 GTI which is stage 2 tuned averages around 8L per 100km with the same sort of driving conditions as above. Both cars get driven sensibly (with mechanical sympathy) but the turbo is there for a reason - and it gets used.

No doubt your consumption will settle once you get a few more km's on the engine.

Maybe they only live 5km from work?

I often skip a gear going up or down through the box: 1,2,4,6; 1,2,3,5; etc. There's lots of lazy torque to play with.

I can stretch to 10 -12 days (to match the fuel price cycle in Sydney) between fills on a 55L tank doing 500km/week. Managed my all time record last week of 853km between fills. 800km+ is fairly normal if I don't get stuck in any traffic jams.

I was having a think about this thread and thought, hey yeah I used to bring each gear up to high revs for every single gear in my Holden Cruze SRIV. Why am I driving so differently... Then I remembered that the top of second gear is loss of license territory... Now I remember

I drove a dsg courtesy car recently and noticed its consumption was massively better than what I get with my manual. So I started to drive mine with dsg shift points, you need to change into 2nd as soon as the clutch is let out, 3rd is pretty much the same.... its damned painful trying to accelerate a 6 speed manual with just over 2000rpm shift points. I'm just doing it for 2 tanks to see how good I can get it... but I'm still not close to the DSG. I reckon I might end up with maybe 30km better range. Not worth the effort. I'm not exactly comparing apples and apples with a 2011 77tsi and a 2015 81tsi though and I do have taller tyres so my kms are slightly longer than stock. Making a conscious effort at coasting etc my range is showing 640kms. The dsg was showing over 700 without doing anything special. Only another 240kms to go before I can start driving on normal again

Poured my first fill up yesterday 43L. Took the tank to within 10kms range just to see what it was like. Got 485kms out of the tank that I was given from the dealer.

Will see what the second tank does.

8.4L/100 km long term for my vehicle. I have the DSG version. The manual gets about 1L/100km more than the DSG version.

I'm getting real world (not via ECU) 6.5L/100km.... Manual.

Living in Newcastle/Nelson Bay helps due to stuff all traffic and my commute is all 70/80/100kmh zones.

Just to revisit this, got 2 weeks worth of driving from the tank which I thought was fairly decent.

Got 558kms out of my first fill on 95ron, so big difference!

why 95? Aren't the gen3 EA888 98ron with a 95ron fallback?

[maxrob200]

Sticker says min 95ron but I am happy using BP Ultimate as it is more widely available than BP or Shell 95

[brad]

Big 98 in a circle with a small 95?

A little better than the old VR6 Steve?

Welcome back to VW world!

Can't speed / act like a hooligan anymore so I make the daily commute more interesting by trying for maximum economy.

I won a competition put on by Shell about 10 years back and was awarded "Australia's most economical driver". 4.3L/100km in a Golf 1.6L Auto running on 92ron

Probably worth mentioning when quoting L/100 figures is your average speed to give others an indication where they are at in comparison.
