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

[Lucas_R]

My R has achieved a magical 0.00 litres fuel consumption this week. Unbelievable!.......might be coz I haven't driven it

The R sat on 115 all the way from Melbourne to Sydney apart from a few short stops.

Short blasts now and then either overtaking or just for kicks

Overall, 7.8 l/100km.

Is that on the MFD or using the amount of fuel needed to refill each time? Either way, that's not far off of the 118 on the same drive.
It's good to see that the R can be sensible when needed.

Calculated use (although identical to the MFD)

Out GTI used to get under 7 on interstate trips

I normally don't bother with fuel consumption data but this was a good opportunity to compare it to our GTI and also respond to my gourmet meal and rice cake comment

think my engine in the R is still being run in.

drove SYD to MELB with 1000km on the odo and averaged around 10l/100km
drove back with 4000km on the odo and averaged high 8s/100km

reset your MFD Average consumption counter. Mine sat flat at 11.5 no matter what sort of driving I did. After a reset it fluctuates with my right foot

[RosscoMK3]

That's pretty normal behaviour for engines as far as I know. They bed in and get better with a little age under the belt.

How do you reset your MFD? Are you talking about the 1 or 2 program reset. My 1 resets itself automatically after a few hours at rest.

Can anyone give me a link to the gear ratio difference between the 7 speed DSG and the 6 speed manual. I couldn't find them in the online brochure.

[SilvrFoxX]

Yes just the 1 or 2 program reset
