Fuel Consumption - How's THAT going ?

[Dutch77]

Agreed - I think they are useful for comparison, although it seems like some cars definitely get closer in percentage terms than others - I've always rated the Mk6 and Mk7 GTI very good in that regard given the performance on offer.. (and in your case I'm sure the Octavia is not much different, bar a little extra weight for the size).

This is what I'm getting on highway, and roughly 8.5-9 on city driving

Hi mate, I got a 2016 GTI DSG non performance with15k kms. I'm getting 7L only on motorway with cruise control. As soon as I'm doing a bit of city, it goes up to 9L/100

Thanks for the reply..in my case it is the same..I would rather enjoy the car and not worry about fuel consumption at least for now

Guys,

I recently purchased the GTI Performance and luv the car. But I'm not getting the consumptions that VW mentioned. i'm getting roughly 9.2L/100 75% driving short distance by my wife. Any idea why I'm not getting around 7L/100 on this. Would like to know others experiences too

Problem highlighted in bold.

I have a 1.8tsi.
Short trips around the 'burbs with lots of stop/start for lights & other traffic give me 9-10L/100km.
Longer trips around the 'burbs with flowing traffic and warm oil gives 8L/100km.
Highway gives 6.3L/100km.

You won't do much better out of your 2.0tsi.

If you wanted good fuel economy for short trips, etc then you should have bought a Camry Hybrid - I have one for work and it's crap on the highway but gets 4.5L/100km around town without trying too hard. Of course, then you have to put up with the embarrassment of looking like a taxi driver / retiree....

/searches... According to the VW brochure the rated economy is 8.3L/100km urban cycle. You aren't far off that. Keep in mind your engine probably isn't run in yet either - probably won't ever be if you just tootle around the 'burbs doing short trips.

As per above, get it out on the open road.

Take the wife away for the weekend in the car, to somewhere nice.

I've seen 40 litres/100km on my readout at times. Then I change gear and it looks a little better.

you are right.. I did 70km drive yesterday on freeway and it did 6.7L/100 which is really good. So I'm not going to worry too much about the short runs.

10,000km now on the girl. Gets Vortex 98... Can drive on the freeway from home to City Perth 40km one way and get 6.4L/100km on the read out with no issue.. Around town 7.0-7.9L/100km....

I'm getting 6.5L/100 on my 90tsi wagon 1.4L with avg speed of 33kms/hr. Using 98 with no DA package, pretty happy with economy, disappointed about avg speed
