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

**Lucas_R** · 22-03-2013, 04:51 PM

Have just driven a touch over 300km from Newcastle to Suttons Forrest - fuel gauge is right on half way.

That included driving through the guts of Sydney, air con on all the way, unable to use cruise control because of a never ending supply of useless drivers, and a few squirts here and there.

Next tank got 704 kms for the same sort of driving. Loving it.

That's not terrific. I would have used 20L (max) for the same trip/conditions

? This thread isn't for grannies who bought R's when they should have bought a prius...

300km on half a tank including air con and Sydney traffic is very good. I am lucky to get 200-250km on half.

Just had a look at my average fuel consumption today..... 11L/100km

Lucas has a Golf R, hence his name Lucas_R.

I got a little over 600km for a tank last week. That was mostly highway cruising.

In the city it's around 500km.

My long term average is 9.2L/100km.

I drive like a nana in the city, but like to open her up on my monthly travel west over the mountains

Drove Jindabyne -> Sydney and got a little over 600km on a tank. This was with Caltex 98. 7.7L/100km.

Used cruise control most of the time, with a quick squirt every now and then to overtake.
