Fuel Consumption - Post Your Figures

[alexaescht]

Not likely. The Polo holds 44 litres and did 5.1/100 The Cruiser holds 145 litres and did 10.4/100

Reminds me of the Prado we used to have before the Polo. It had a 180 litre tank (2x 90 litres) and could make it from Melbourne to Sydney with a little spare. The Polo has a 45 litre tank and can make it from Melbourne to Sydney with around the same amount of fuel left over.

Yes and the point I was making was that in both cases one could say I got from A to B on a tankful.

Sounds impressive till you get the figures doesn't it.

I always fill my car to the next whole L after the cut-off and record the almost true consumption. It is anywhere between the same as the MFD readout and up to 0.4L/100km worse. Usually it is 0.2L/100km worse or around 5% error, just like the speedo.

Generally about 3.5-4.5L per 100. Lately its been towards 4.5-5 due to the constant and endless traffic jams in the mountains

The best I've achieved is 5.6/per 100km coming from Port Macquarie to Sydney, the last and the worst so far has been all Sydney driving which was 11l/per 100km. Generally in the city I average about 10l/per 100km.

I've got a MY13 Polo GTI

My polo dsl has a 53+ litre tank. 53 litres is the most I've put in so far. Most km so far on 1 tank is ~1300. My car is way better around town where I have been as low as 3.2 over about 25km. On the highway at 100km/hr the best is about 4.2.

I"m averaging 5.7l/100km, of mainly highway driving, it's very consistent, last 3 tanks was 5.6, the 4 before that 5.4. I mainly only drive it to work, so I'm filling up every 3 wks. Very Happy with it.

Think I got rorted today. Display said I had 20km to empty so wasn't dry at all, yet the pump said I filled 51.04 litres. Never took over 43 litres before and I have driven 20km with the range saying 0.

Polos have a 44 litre tank so yes you did.

Had a similar occurrence at Hervey Bay Filled my 36L reserve tank and it took 41 Complained to attendant Got no sympathy so reported them to authorities.

However I don't hold a lot of faith in fuel gauges as far as accuracy is concerned. One car I had showed 3/4 till it had about 5 L in it Time to get to servo real quick.

Would never drive until tank was showing empty either
