Really? I've only filled up twice, first said 460, second time it said 480..

How many k's are you getting from a tank?

hahaha lets just say i dont get anywhere near what my MFD says i will get. best i've ever managed to get was about 560-570kms (normal conditions) but on a long trip (lots of highways and on cruise control) i got up to 600km once! hahaha

Now i average about 500kms. Mind you, i drive to work everyday in peak hour both ways, and it really kills my fuel consumption. In saying that, im averaging about 10.3L/100kms according to my Trip Computer 2.

Wait till you get it back with the new fuel pump - all that extra pressure will have to go out the exhaust - probably only get 12.5 then - haha

I don't believe the figures when you fill up, even if you drove around like a grandma you wouldn't get that much.. haha. I'll have to take note of the km and next time to work out a true average but sure as hell not that much!! Lucky to get over 400.

filled up tonight and it's now saying 580, so seems to be settling down, or the trip computer is getting more confused...

trip computer 2 avg is now showing 13.2L/100, it was around 15.4 at the end of the first tank... I put in 41L and had done 338ks, so 12.1L/100 avg for that tank

yeah i filled mine up yesterday and it only said 580 as well. it seems to vary quite a bit!!

Let's just say, i want the numbers that were showing up when i had the TSI Jetta for the day hahahaha. That thing hardly drinks at all!!
