Have you guys heard of Fuelly. Check my signature block. Best thing it has a mobile web page (for mobile phones) and you can punch the numbers in quick and easy, every time you fill up.
Dont judge mine too much. I'm moving home and I've been towing a trailer back and fowarth between Bathurst and Canberra.
Happy Days.
I took the other car to work today,30 km of Freeway each way (Yeti 77tsi DSG) its consumption at 7.5l/100 is worse than my chipped vRS Octavia at 7l/100.
Should have gone the Diesel mate. I recon it's like when Top Gear tested the Toyota Prious against the BMW M3. The M3 was more economical because the Prius needed to be flogged to keep up.Quote:

The Yeti is in storage ATM as it's a lease car and I'm both up on KM and saving KM for my next trip back to Bathurst.

I'm averaging just under 7.4 real world (6.7 MFD) but suffering due to a lot of city/suburban trips.
My 103tdi dsg, has averaged 6.6L/100km since i've had it, calculated.
On a trip to the next town which is 25km away The best average reading so far is 4.8L/100km.
That's an easy run with no hold ups, 60, 80, 90, 70 and 60kph limits but I did give it 2 good bursts on that trip.
The sweet spot is 75kph which reads about 3.6L/100km which is about half what it uses at 120kph.
That's a little unfair - downhill.Quote:

By the time we crossed the Hunter R near Newcastle the average had reached 4.1L/100km. That's still exceptional from a petrol Golf.
Mine was down to 4.5 or something from Bathurst to Sydney. It's more the speed limit and the continuous rolling along then the down hill. The Blue mountains aren't that high.Quote:

hmm only put 800k's on the car so far and am sitting around 8.2 which will no doubt get better once run in....
8.2L/100km?? Is that for the 112TSI?
