Passat CC - how thirsty?

[revivor]

My R36 has been getting between 10.4-10.7l/100km (City + Highway mix) that just hit 10000k on the clock
City driving alone produces 11-12l/100km. Still pretty happy with that. Did a Newcastle - Mt Thredbo trip in winter & managed to get 8-9l/100km. I observed that Caltex fuel gives better fuel economy than Shell (gives out a lot of black particles on exhaust tip). IMO.

With regard to the trip computer, does DTE give you klms to empty, or to when you hit reserve? I'm just coming to the end of my first tank in my MY09 CC (bought second hand) and it's currently showing 90klms DTE.

Cheers,
Scott

It's till you hit bottom empty! Normally when I hit reserve, it shows the balance km before empty (heard its not very accurate). I still watch the needle gauge which is a better gauge.

Thx revivor! The answer became apparent this morning when DTE hit 70 just above reserve.
