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

[walbjj]

yeah, stock i was getting high 8l, then stage 1 i was getting the same. now that ive installed stg2, ill run it for the next few weeks and see how i go

[SMOK3Y]

does an APR stage 1 eat more juice on a 90TSI? as i still want economical

It depends on how you drive them...

[svwnath]

Yep, it will improve with time.

I can also take time for you to "learn" the car and how to drive it efficiently etc.

I have clocked 13,300km and I cover both highway & city. Currently I get an average of 6.8L/100km, but I overlap with peak hour most days! The best economy was around 6.5L/100km, if I did not travel during peak hour traffic.

It depends on how you drive them...

so if driven "gently" i should still get about 6ltrs per hundred. Plus have a bit more poke there when i want it.

[Corey_R]

Yeah - effectively you have more torque earlier in the revs, and you seem to get to the speed limit quicker, but with less effort. You can then do a lot more coasting to maintain speed, with small inputs to just top it up etc. So you could actually reduce consumption. However, if you were at a track where you're always on the accelerator, then you'd use more, cause you're able to constantly have the gas planted.

ya just wasnt sure ive been in the V8 scene where a tune (and even cam) if tuned right will yeild better economy. just wasnt sure if these were at their 'economy' limits standard didnt really want to wreck the reason i got the golf for "economy"

[Corey_R]

As long as you stay away from the Golf R, all Golf's (and Polo's) give good economy
Hell, Guy_H's 285kw/485Nm Stage III Golf GTI managed under 5L/100km from Brisbane to Sydney...

cool time for a stage 1 tune & down pipe if they have one for 1.4tsi

[Corey_R]

*cough* if you're got a downpipe, that'll make it a stage 2 tune *cough*

So make sure you're using a comapny that can accomodate your requirements
