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

The fuel warning comes on with about 7-8L remaining. When it stops telling you that you have kilometres remaining (you get a couple of underscores instead), there is about 3-4L.

I've driven it til it had 0 km showing and had to drive it a few km to a petrol station, I then managed to Put 53l in. So theoretically it had 2 litres left so at least 20 more km

I've only done 1200kms in my Golf R and the average is showing as 12.8l/100km!! Will that improve?

yes it will improve.

this is the lowest i got from my Golf R so far after 14K odd kms worth of driving

And that's not a good sign, considering that was a single 40.3km trip...

Fair enough. I'm sure there is a level of difference from car-to-car.

I didn't mention DTE because I've had LOW FUEL come on anywhere between 70km & 120km depending on what avg consumption#1 was reading at the time.
