    Average K's per tank?

    Am just curious with the driving habits of Mk4 GTI owners.

    How many K's per tank do you think you average? (assuming you take note at some point in time)

    I do about 500 on mine using 98RON.

    Generally get around 500km before the fuel warning light comes on.
    I then fill up straight away; I don't believe it is a good practice to try and "empty" the tank completley.
    I am averaging 9.2L/100km on the Trip Computer (2).

    I usually get about 400k's on it, but my car is chipped and i do occasionally enjoy hammering it...but what should be norm? or considered to be normal.

    But say if your using alot more fuel than you should and you drive it in a decent way what could be the problem???

    my 1.6 Polo does alright on a long trip, until you take someone with you, and then it goes stupid.... i think i got about 11 last long trip

    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).

    i get about 450km to a tank using BP Ultimate. Trip computer shows about 12.5l per 100km. it used to be about 13L till i installed the CAI. I think this is pretty good for an R32

    How many K's should I expect when I hit the fuel light...

    I've had it come up a few times, and I've wandered how far can I go (not that I want to).

    Edit - 325km from 3/4 tank last hit out. Driving to work / city.
