Gotta love the Diesel fuel economy

[The_Hawk]

142km into freeway and chill and she give you that look that says I've still got 1,000km in me:



It's been a little while since we have been down into this territory, but at 167k the Multivan is still very capable, even with 5 people + luggage.

Friend of mine with a T5 2.0 single turbo just did a trip to Tuggerah on the central coast NSW from Brisbane he did the trip and then some more touring around finally filled up after 1100 approx , admits here he doesn,t drive like I do Ha Ha .

I love sitting in traffic with Mazda CX-9s who inevitably need to prove they have more "zoom zoom" than my Caddy (which they do). However, my Caddy is currently running 6.3 l/100km real world fuel consumption and a friend traded in his CX-9 soon after buying it because it was using 15 l/100km real world fuel consumption and he did not own an oil well.

Gotta love diesel economy!
Also I like your set speed on your cruise...

Yes the real world fuel economy of a TDI is excellent, we are always between 4.8-5.3l/100km in the Golf

I have a lead foot car is revved out daily (135kw tdi) with wagon and awd weight i still get just over 7.1l/100 its fantastic 7.6 to 100kph no gti but as us diesel owners know the wall of torque is amazing tho i have found the high output motor is surprisingly rev happy much more so than my old 103kw mark 6 tdi love driving it

My wife regularly gets 1,050k's out of a tank in her 125 TDI Jetta. My Scout is tuned, has 200,000+k's on it and my long term fuel economy according to the MFD is 6.1l/100. And it very rarely feels slow, if you know what I mean.

That's a tad over the real world 110 KMH. The VW seems to add 5%. Holdens I have owned add 2 KMH. Interestingly Ducati, owned by VAG, tell you in the owner's manual the speedo is 5% optimistic.

I drive off the Spare GPS on my dash At 110kph my Tiguan reads 118KPH
Thats why there are so many slow drivers blocking our roads ,They Presume the Spedo is acurate ,

Coming back from Melbourne few years back and got to 960ish km, i think, on the odo, and chickened out.Had to fill it.
7.9L/100km
No trip computer on mine tho'.

I'd managed to get under 5l/100km on a recent trip from Cairns to Townsville and return.

The other aspect is the torque they have. I was crossing the Cardwell range each way, cruise control set to 100km/h, my Octavia sat in 6th gear at just under 2000rpm, and the only thing that changed was the instantaneous fuel consumption. It never felt like it was struggling.
