    Before I hit the highways it will normally be around 9 l/100km
    mines city more then anything.. combined with very minimal freeway runs!

    600+ for a led foot seems pretty impressive. Did you also mod your fuel tank?

    Does anyone else notice you seem to get a hell of alot more out of the first half tank than the second half? (taking it to the warning light).

    The last time I filled a full tank I got 660kms out of it, and that included the dyno day and a fair bit of a thrashing.

    Don't know why you guys are struggling to get 600.

    Could it be that the audi 02 1.8T is a DBW engine and we vwbers are stuck with NDBW which is not as fuel economical and powerful?

    I stuggle to get 600 even if I "sunday drive" for most of the tank. 520-550 more like it.

    Doesn't make that much difference.

    I do however, always use BP Ultimate and I have noticed getting slightly better fuel economy after mods.
