TSI Fuel Consumption

[Sharkie]

I know what's going to happen, you're going to love the remap!

Give us a yell if you're up this way at all Tigga.

Happy to meet up on Saturday on the Sunshine Coast or Brissy as well, Tigga1.

Going on a bike run on Sunday ending up at the Motorcycle Expo on the Gold Coast so thats out from a VW perspective ....

Let us know when you plan to go to APR to have the chip done, as I may come by as well. Ive had enough of the weather in Brisbane, so will have the Tig with me at work for a few days and the CBD is close to APR....

ah, forgot that was on this sunday. Although I stopped going to them 2 years ago. I was buying a new bike nearly after every one- 5 in 6 years was just getting rediculous!

hey guys
got the remap....nuff said

staying at Gold Coast till 10 March or thereabouts. Perhaps we could arrange a mini meet somewhere...although all I have to show is what you already have and know intimately ;-]

cept mine's auto...

as you can imagine, fuel consumption has gone skywards for the short term just feels SO good!

although aftermarket stereo (amp, sub and splits) is pretty good too!

let me know if you're down this way at all...would love to check out wheels, springs and manual Tigs!

Ended up going to the Expo in the Tig at the last minute due to threatening wheather and got 8.2l/100km (220km with air going flat out all the way & back) averaged including some enthusastic driving through the cities at both ends.I believe the sticky tyres I've got on adds at least 1l/100km as on the std tyres on a trip to the Sunshine Coast once I got to 6.7l/100km.For long trips in the future I will switch to the stock tyres to 1.) get some use out of them, 2.) save my sticky tyres for a better purpose than mindlessly cruising and 3.) get better fuel economy.

Did not see any Aprilia's I'm afraid. Mostly the mainstream brands, except for Honda ..... The Victory bikes were impressive, not my style, but the engineering and quality was awesome ....

BMW had their new S1000RR there and I can see myself needing one ....

ah yes, 145kw I believe . At that power, I think the traction control would be pretty much working over time!
