What is your best fuel economy?

[tiggy888]

I have now put 15000km on my Manual TDI Tiggy and comute within Sydney traffic each day. I have fitted a DP Chip to mine and in peak hour traffic and a bit of weekend driving I am averaging 840km to a full tank. Have not done alot of hwy driving but will be driving from Sydney to Gold Coast in May so will be interesting to see what i can get out of tank.
Cheers

hey, listen fella's, not all tigs are diesels you know!

But then I guess there's really not much point in putting up my fuel economy figures - they look laughable against yours! But just don't get in my way on the road OK!

About the same I think Tigga. I seem to be averaging around the 8.8 - I'm happy with that. Be interesting to see how the remap affects it.

No more changes yet, but I'm giving it to Guy this week I think. Then the rear sway bar, exhaust, air intake, intercooler... and that should be about it!

clip, be sure, be VERY sure, to tell us of your experience after this week...
the future of Tigs in Qld, maybe even in Oz, depends on it...

Ok, then I'd better not post anything just yet. Stand by for report.

You'd be surprised how well most diesels go nowadays (if you haven't driven one) I doubt that they would slow you down and may even surprise you when you hit the hills

I knew that'd work!

Russ, I have driven them, and they do go very well - would love to have driven a remapped one. But I still prefer the performance of a petrol engine.

I wasn't biting mate, but you'd be surprised how many people (including some forum members) who still refer to diesels as slow old dinosaurs, little do they know that the 103 KW TDI goes like a T-Rex with its' tail on fire and 125 kw GT TDI goes like a Velociraptor on steroids
