The Octavia fuel consumption thread

[candy_wagon]

Hi everyone,

I have always thought of myself as a bit of a fuel consumption nerd and was wondering what sort of usage people are getting out of their Octy's.

I do a lot of highway driving in my job and don't drive like a knob, but I do like a good blast in the right conditions and circumstances.

In some way I guess this could lead to views on the change in consumption (both up and down) with modified cars.

I propose the following details with my car as the example:

Year & model - 2012 VRS TSI wagon with DSG
Mileage - 13,000km in 4 months
Modifications that may affect consumption - None
Average consumption according to MFD - Consistently around 8.1L/100km.

Car details in sig
30k in 16 months
Mfd average 6.3 mostly Sydney commuting (yuk) with some longer weekend drives.
No performance mods

2007 118TSI M6 Elegance hatch. 105,000km in 4.5yrs
average consumption over the life of the vehicle = 6.7L/100km
The last few tanks have been 6.0L/100km because there are road works on my commute & a lot of it is 80kmh.
6.3L/100km average for the last 4,000km.

mods that may affect consumption: Bluefin remap (better down low, worse up top);30mm front spring drop (definitely improved the fuel consumption getting the nose closer to the road);16x7.5 wheels & 225/55x16 tyres - they weigh 3.5kg more per corner than OEM & they've removed the 10% innacuracy in both the speedo & the odometer. My xxL/100km is accurate whereas other Elegance hatches actually get xxL/90km & vRS's get xxL/94km;

I've been getting around 900km before the light comes on.

Here's my fuelly page, but I've been working so much I haven't had a chance to update it for awhile...
Actually, I'll do it now!

2012 90TSI Liftback

Currently Driven: 10000km over the past 4 months. A lot of my trips are either to Sydney or Newcastle. Lots of freeway/main roads. I use it for delivery driving 5 nights a week too, which adds a bit.
Current Average: 6.2 L/100km.
Usual Average: 6.7-7 L/100km.
Best Average: 4.6 L/100km Oddly enough, was from Canberra to home via the bottom of the Blue Mountains, at the speed limit too... No air con on though, didn't need it.
