110TDI, long term currently 6.4L/100km. Short trips between home and work only. Yes, I try and do a long drive every now and then to burn off soot. 4000km on the odometer.

i think if you dont have driver assistant package you won't be able to select driving modes. (not sure)

I wonder what is the average speed you guys are doing, because it can give a general idea of how much traffic/HWY you guys do as well.

I have the base model, 90TSi.
The long term average speed is about 30km/h
It is 7.4L/100Km based on 1534km

Mainly city drive, pretty heavy traffic.

picked up my car yesterday, from south yarra to city, dealer changed driving mode to sports..so it was around 12L/100km
and went from city to box hill for dinner and return, fuel reduced to 8L/100km.
60km so far...lol

When and where you drive will always make a massive difference coupled with HOW you drive.

In my cars I tend to get higher average, mostly because of how I drive which isn't helped by the fact it's short local trips through suburbia... so plenty of opportunity for hard acceleration

If I totally baby it I can literally halve my consumption on the same trip.

Anyone who does any sort of distance on the freeway will tend to get a more consistent (and lower) consumption figure since there is less chance of variation on that sort of trip. (Anyone doing their driving on roads at 80/90 will get the best consumptions since that's about the most efficient possible speed to drive).

My average speed is 41km. As I said I drive mostly outer suburban. My run to the golf course is 1 traffic light and 6 roundabouts - probs would only come to a full stop once or twice. The drive is 15km each way. Others is more traffic lights and stop start.
Just filled up with 98 Ron - this time. Done 80 km and its sitting on 5.1l per 100km. BUT I do drive in economy mode, use coasting mode where possible.
I have a Drivers Assitance package which others may not have access too. This is a very fuel efficient mode. Normally I would be in 7th gear at 60km/h

ive seen quite a few people in the forum have the DA package. in terms of fuel efficiency, DA package have eco driving mode and thats about it. i havent done any test to compare the fuel consumption between different driving modes, especially interested in normal and eco, if any one has done it please post the results here!

Mines pretty much identical:
90TSI Comfortline
Since owning 7.5L/100km based from about 950km. Average speed is 30km/h
Driving is mainly short local trips.

1900kms in 90TSI Comfortline DSG. Long term 6.7/100, but it's being run in and i'm varying my driving style a fair bit.i did hear the dreaded waste gate rattle today in S mode
