2015/16 Polo GTI Real World Fuel Consumption

8.4L/100 km long term for my vehicle. I have the DSG version. The manual gets about 1L/100km more than the DSG version.

I'm getting real world (not via ECU) 6.5L/100km.... Manual.

Living in Newcastle/Nelson Bay helps due to stuff all traffic and my commute is all 70/80/100kmh zones.

Will see what the second tank does.

Just to revisit this, got 2 weeks worth of driving from the tank which I thought was fairly decent.

Got 558kms out of my first fill on 95ron, so big difference!

why 95? Aren't the gen3 EA888 98ron with a 95ron fallback?

Sticker says min 95ron but I am happy using BP Ultimate as it is more widely available than BP or Shell 95

Big 98 in a circle with a small 95?

Can't speed / act like a hooligan anymore so I make the daily commute more interesting by trying for maximum economy.

I won a competition put on by Shell about 10 years back and was awarded "Australia's most economical driver". 4.3L/100km in a Golf 1.6L Auto running on 92ron

Probably worth mentioning when quoting L/100 figures is your average speed to give others an indication where they are at in comparison.
