Post ONLY Your Fuel Economy Figures

**BlackOctaviaRS** · 14-01-2010, 12:25 PM

Hi All,

Thought I'd start a new thread for people to post their fuel economy figures for their Skodas, especially to see what the differences are between the diesels and petrols. Might also help prospective buyers who are trying to choose between the two fuel options.

I'm getting about 9.5-10.0 in the RS Petrol Wagon with DSG around the city, and have managed so far to get as low as 6.9 on a country freeway run.

Im getting 5.7l per 100klms out of our FL RS TDI DSG Wagon demo.

I drive from Endeavour Hills to Preston which is about 100klms round trip daily plus test drive's plus my driving around after work.

Pretty much unbeatable for the type of car and the performance you get from it.

Only done a little under 4000km's on the new FL RS TDI wagon and getting around the 6.1/100km comparitive according to the MFD, am yet to confirm with actual calculations. It's getting better as I get more K's on it, and I'm not driving it easy. I've been running just normal BP or Shell diesel, but have just put in a tank of the new Caltex Vortex premium diesel, will see how that stuff goes. Looking forward to when BP finally bring the Ultimate diesel to NSW.

Petrol FL vRS Manual Combi:

I'm getting high 8's / low 9's in normal driving city driving. If i give some curry, well that blows out the window.

On the highway it can go down to high 6's low 7's.

I haven't had my TDI long enough to worry about and Christmas driving is hardly typical but for the distance travelled I have saved around $20 in fuel compared to my previous car so that will amount to something like $1200 - $1500 per year. Free servicing, reg and insurance to put it another way.

2007 Elegance wagon 2TDI manual with 22k on the clock & Oettinger reflash

Best - 5.4 highway driving "unloaded" including 2 baby seats, pram and stuff for the baby and toddler

Worst - 7.2 "city" driving with the above standard stuff (well, atleast as "city" as Canberra gets

)

Car fully loaded with roof pod for family trips away still returns between 6.5 (best) and 6.8 (worst).

Love that TDI economy and torque

Reflashed RS '08 manual Combi petrol:

City, with wife's usual full on or full off driving: 10.5-11.0l/100km

Country, as low as 7.0l/100km when travelling @90km/h gets worse when you go faster.

Round the track 28.8l/100km - beat that diesel guys!!!

lol.....thats the spirit. The diesel guys don't go to the race track. They are to busy with the calculators figuring out how to save another 5c

(said in tongue and cheek......don't mean to offend people like my dad who also bought a vRS.....only the diesel version
