Polo GTI - vortex 98 - 6.1 L/100

[Lemonskin]

My GTI usually averages mid-high 5's on the highway and in city driving, around 8L/100km. However it should be stipulated that I tend to have a lead foot.

Ha! My average is never below 10l/100km.
Mostly city stop start bs.

In comparison though my vx Calais ls1 was never below 18l/100 doing the same drive.

Dont know what I'm doing wrong then. 77tsi driving what would be very close to 50/50 freeway/city (and that is only wollongong city so not so bad) my 25,019km average is 6.7, best ever tank was 6.2 worst 7.4.

edit: fed an exclusive diet of shell and caltex 98.

Averaging 6, best 5.7 for a three day run up to the northern tablelands and back via Coffs. Fabia Combi vRS in Canberra.

After 20,000 from first fill until now I am averaging 6.3 which is 2/3 highway and 1/3 urban and heavy traffic. The last 5 tanks have been between 5.9-6.3. The best ever tank was a 4.8! People tend to focus over style of driving, type of road and traffic etc. But, the trips I typically do the slope has a significant factor. Morning to work (downhill approx average 4.7), evening from work (uphill, approx average 6. - same driving style and traffic density.

My 3rd long term average is now 5.0L/100km, helped by some long distance driving. Just got back from a trip from Toowoomba to Blue Mts via the New England H'way, some back roads though Wiseman's Ferry & up the Bells Line of Road. That average was 4.6L/100km. The return via Sydney, Pt Macquarie, Oxley H'way to Armidale and return on the New England H'way again gave 4.5L/100km. I did 992.3km on a tank with a range of 80km. My less than 7 month old Golf is about to have its 30,000km service. Leaving Blackheath after a cold start the average was showing 2.8L/100km when I got onto the M4 into Sydney after 55km. That's what a downhill run can do.
