So the 6R GTI is WAY ahead of the poor old 1.8T ...
That is bad. Are you punching it whenever your drive?
I was getting on average 400km off my Corsa lite with city driving. Consumption is what prompted the change.
I only drive 14km a day to work and back, in traffic. I can't even punch 'it' :cry:

Im actually not sure what I get off a tank.
When I got the car (4000kms) i was averaging 9l/100km overall (I do alot of short distance driving). I reset at 7000kms, and im doing 8l/100km. Seems the engine loosened nicely. Im also using little to no oil, where as the first 1000kms I definately used more.

I had an interesting test the other day. The mrs took her 1.4T A1 to her work, on saturday with no traffic. She managed 5.5l/100km. Later the afternoon, I took her through with my polo, I managed 6.5l/100km. seems the 1.4TSi is just a little heavier than the 1.4T, but still very good.

It really depends how often you engage the SC under normal driving circumstances.

I get about 500km if i use Sasol and about 580km to 600km if i use Engen...tested this thoroughly! I pretty much do town driving. Although Sasol is still the better fuel for me and only use that now. Although Engen gave me more mileage, my car never felt as responsive as when i used Sasol...and it definitely wasnt a placebo effect :)

Just a quick update. Had a trip to Richards Bay over the weekend for a funeral. Car was packed to the brim and running with speedo speed of 140km/h and 3000rpm. Got 7.6L/100km as average and the trip back which was N2/N3 all the way gave me 7.1L/100km... that was 734km for the day and still got me to work this morning!!

The trip down was via a lot of back roads and it was crap with hard acceleration to overtake trucks and a lot of k@k speed humps and driving through a national park too...

In summary... I am VERY impressed!!! Car ran perfectly without missing a beat! Should get around 770km in total on the tank!

Nice one :D

I realised i will never get under 8 overall combined consumption, I spend more time idling my car than driving to work (not joking).
over weekend averaged 7.2, that had longer trips.

The last 150km trip to trade my 6r in yielded 6.25l/100km. That was moving along at around 140km/h and sometimes around 180ish.

I'm going to miss the excellent consumption of that little tsi!

For any of the guys looking for tyres for your 6r gti, rivonia tyres were the cheapest on goodyear efficient grips at R990 per tyre, a few weeks back

The efficient grips and dunflops are the ones approved for 6r gti/ audi a1 fitment.

Ah, OK cool... I know for Volvo's, if you dont have at least V-rated tyres and have an accident, the insurance wont cover it.... think it is Volvo... :razz:
