Fuel Consumption - How's THAT going ?

[Baz 55]

Just an update - now 4000km old and last tank averaging a bit under 5L per 100km - pretty happy.
That's economy mode outer urban driving.

Well on my GTD it's getting better and better. From my journey home from work last night (quite a good run), and this is with an ambient temperature of only 4°C - it is winter in the UK afterall

BTW, in new money that's 4.7 litres per 100 kms, and the car's currently got 2,500 miles (4,000 km) on it. Not too shabby for a car with 184ps ?

Damn we have not got ours under 6 everyone getting such low numbers! Maybe out trips out too short in Canberra

I've only done 1000km. Average overall is about 5.6. We drove to Bathurst for a funeral last week and we managed 4.8 for the trip, even with going over the blue mountains, driving at the speed limit, though gentle with the accelerator while the car is being run in. So I'm stoked with the fuel economy.

after 4k my consumption is about 6.5, 70% city and 30% freeway.
im sort of regretting if i shouldve got TDI instead.

Can any GTI drivers chime in? Would like to know what they're getting as i'm tossing up between a TSI or TDI vRS when it comes out in a couple months.

Currently doing about 800-900kms per full take using 98RON Shell V-Power in my 90tsi Comfortline.

In the old money that is a combined consumption of 43mpg.

You can't base Skoda Octavia RS economy on the GTI's figures - the engine may be the same, but the Skoda will be carrying a fair bit more weight, will have a significantly different aerodynamic profile, etc. You'd be better off basing your decision on the published figures.

I know that, i'm just trying to see what kind of fuel economy people are getting and if its anywhere near the claimed figures. Published figures are one thing, real world economy is another.
