Fuel Consumption

[Stuwey]

Holy Sheeit some of you lot are getting great numbers.

Mine, mostly stock on APR stage 1 tune, highway at 113km/h usually mid 7s.

Back and forward to work, 7.3?

K04, 3" exhaust, but not yet tuned (being reasonably gentle too) now averaging mid 6's.

I've never seen "550-600" from a tank though!!

I drive mine like a grandma to work and back, city driving nothing over 60km and can't get over 350km out of a tank!!

Totally stock, I can only think it might need a new 02 sensor, has done 83K on the clock...

My APR Stg2 did 5.7l/100km going up the coast from Brissy to the Sunny Coast and back easily every time and I had it on either 105 or 115 km/h on the SatNav (much more on the speedo) and it always had at least 4 people in it.

In town, the commute gave me 9l/100km and that was 20km each way, burbs to CBD fringe.

Not only was the tune so much fun, it saved a lot of fuel over the 6 years I had it ..... still miss the little beast (sigh)

Reading this makes me think there is something wrong with my car stuff it I'm calling up the shop tomorrow and seeing if I can get a stage one tune Friday and maybe they can tell me if there are any other problems lol

A number of factors affect the fuel consumption reading such as tire pressure, tires, fuel type and how well you ride the down revs, curvature of the road ect..

I run a tire pressure of around 37 psi, this has greatly improved the fuel consumption figure as well as making takeoff a little lighter feeling than the recommended 33psi

You can easily get up to 700km out of the tank in this beast if you use the overfill release valve when filling up, on my last fillup I managed to get 43 litres into the tank with a quarter left, so the tank will hold roughly 55 - 60~ liters, anyone confirmed this from empty?

With the APR Tune, I get an average of 7.2, as low as 6.8 and average around 8.5 around town in traffic

I get around 550-600kms per tank in my polo. Has a stage 1 Harding Performance tune. On the highway at 110kph it's sitting on 4.5-5.5L/100kms. Consider myself lucky after hearing about others with low fuel efficiency problems.

Mine isn't great. Car is completely stock, I get 7.8L/100kms on the highway, and up near 10 or 11 around town. Might go Stage 1 just for the increased economy.

I barely get that and I commute up the highway on cruise control, and generally light footed. I think we need stage 2 mods for the frugal consumption.

6-7 on the freeways (215 semi slicks wont help)
i don't look around town, between traffic and driving spiritedly could be towards 15 fairly easily.

Tune without changing the turbo does not make a noticeable difference that I noticed, but a 9N GTI without a tune is a wasted machine. I moved from APR to CC, great decision.

Cooler temps and lower humidity can make a noticeable difference.
