Polo GTI Fuel Economy....6.1L Really...???

[gavs]

MFD will show 2 trip readings. 1 is for the current trip you are driving, 2 is overall since you last reset it. I drive about 55kms a day to work and back an most of that is against the peak hour traffic on the eastern freeway. I rarely see below 7.1L/100km for each tank. At least it's consistent but it's consistently 1L/100km more than its supposed to be. Maybe because my car is tighter in the engine because I don't experience the reduced friction from ill-fitting piston rings

Are people including their oil consumption in the mileage?

Ha ha, funny you mention oil consumption with fuel Greg, m girlfriends dad just bought a brand new evinrude e-tec outboard which is 2 stroke but it's ecu controlled oil injection. That thing is using less oil than many of the gti's on here and it's made to burn oil!

my GTI has done about 17.5K, no oil usage, on latest MFD reading (18hrs) I'm doing about 6.4L/100km.
daily commute is 60k, up and down a range...I tendto leave home early and come home early or late to avoid most start/stop traffic.
My last MFD average for 100hrs was around 7.1L/100k
driving style is probably quite close to OP...a few squirts here and there, but generally cruising...
hope this helps
