hi there was just wondering if the fuel tank on the mk 7 is smaller than the mk5 gti only the fuel comsumption on my mk 7 gti isn't very good .... mines the gti dsg
-
Fuel tank on the GTI is 50L. The R has a slightly bigger tank (55L) but it's also thirstier.
-
does anyone know the size of the fuel tank on the mk 5 gti ,,,, thanks for that
-
I cant get 30 mpg on my DSG Gti, im not exactly Ayrton Senna these days either!
Its always 29.something to the gallon. My old manual Mk6 used to be slightly better I think.

55 litres

Google suggests 55 ltr. My manual GTI averages about 35mpg but I can get up to 45 if I'm behaving myself.

Averaging 35 on my pp dsg .But , down to 30ish with right foot planted .Even got 40mpg plus today on a 50mph A road dwardle in heavy coast bound traffic .

On journeys where I used to average 27/28 mpg on my mk5 Gti dag I now average 32/33 on my mk7 Gti dsg. I was initially concerned about the smaller fuel tank but it's not an issue. On a 70/80 mpg motorway run I can achieve 40mpg, which was impossible in the mk5.

Just as I posted as above ,I looked up at the main BBC news on Tv and there was my Golf Gti ! I live very close to where those two unfortunate people were killed in the light aircraft crash this morning and was being diverted by the police.Never saw the camera crew at all !

Seen it, the more I see that blue the more I like it.

I've only covered 320 miles so far and my average has just crept above 30mpg (best I've seen on good run was 37mpg). I' m quite impressed as my old 1.8 focus was always averaging less :smiley:

That is a really good road to give the car a thrash .Marvellous series of uphill bends towards Castle Howard .I was not going overly hard but it was a heart in mouth moment when I shot round bend to see "boy in blue " with hand held up !

My Beetle averaged around 28-32MPG and that was a 1.4TSI. Seems I'll be able to have more fun and still achieve the same MPG in my GTI :grin:!
