1000 off one tank...

Are you registered on Fuelly?

I am but I haven't updated for a while...

I wish for that consumption, I usually get about 300 to max 350km on my 45l tank in the golf

[AlexTDi]

I'm only 600km's short of that tank

Well done

[EX-DOHCTOR]

Lol, I get 600/700 KM's a tank with my Trendline regularly, last take was 874KM's off 43L.

[Sinbad]

480km and the refuel warning is on. :-/

[slumiesboi]

That's insane. I get just under 700km on a tank with my tdi and that is keeping to and below the road speed limits on an open road

[Titleists]

...yes 1000 miles to be exact!

1601.0km and the tank took 57.655l of Engens cheapest

R738,56 to fill up the tank

Ave speed on a highway? 60km/h?

I so regret not keeping my tdi sportline now with these crazy fuel prices.

Well done VGTI.

Think he does 90 or so

I've noticed that my consumption on my morning commute is heavily affected by the first 3-5minutes of the trip. My consumption starts at around 50l/100km and drops rapidly as I drive out of my neighbourhood. If I can get it down to about 7l/100km before I get stuck in traffic (driving really really slow and coasting a lot), then I end up on about 5.5-5.7l/100km. If I drive more briskly during that initial part of my trip, and I hit traffic at around 12l/100km, then I won't get it down into the low 6's. It seems that the initial part of the trip is crucial. My 14km commute takes me 45-55mins every morning.

Another thing I've noticed, is that I can get better consumption when putting the car in neutral and just coasting everywhere, as opposed to just leaving the car in gear and foot off the gas. I suppose it is because the consumption drops to about 0.8-1.2km/l when coasting in neutral, but you carry much more speed without the back compression of the engine slowing you down. I think it is a fine line between letting the car run in gear on the overrun (using 0 fuel) as opposed to letting the car coast for further while using 0.8-1.2l/100km.

I only filled up R550 from only having 40km to go so it was not a full tank, and I got 958km
if I filled up I would have got over 1000km and I have also been driving like a tool now and again.

That was the average speed over the 1601km and that took close to 4 weeks. If you do 60 only it swings the other way and becomes inefficient.

This tank I will try to do 120 on the highway and I wont drive economically at all... Lets see if I can get to 1250km!

...damn man. . . .i've been trying to break my own record.... 546kms on a tank

currently sitting on 430kms and the OBC says 140kms to empty . . . . .i dont do long road driving though.

1st few km make such an impact as your trip is short

If it was 50km, it would even out - traffic dependent

Definitely agree with you there!
