GTD MPG Video

[ajmoir36]

This is a video I made which demonstrates you can get 60odd miles per gallon from a standard GTD. Its sped up 300% as its a bit boring watching 40 minutes of trip computer.  I cycle the computer every so often and its my normal journey to work.  There is a glitch in the video (where two miles gets lost) as my Panasonic TZ20 only records for 30 mins at 1080p, although I couldn't upload as its like 4 gigs in size, its taken me ages to render it down to upload it to youtube.  Next time I will use a lower qaulity vid. Also need to remember to turn off the image stabiliser as when you go round corners it moves the lens and use something more stable than bluetack to stick it to the centre column. Notice aswell that the range started at 295 and ends at 290 with 28 miles inbetween.

Enjoy.

Good vid!

Was starting to think the so called 60+mpg was a mith 

Saying that tho, today was my first day to get over 50 and that is just town stop start driving....looking forward to a motorway journey!!

Driving at that steady 50-58 for that length of time I can totally understand that figure and amazed its not actually higher.

[ajmoir36]

8 degrees will do that.

[Snoopy]

Worse when colder too, my older PD TDI is not great when it gets cold outside infact its little different to the GTI on fuel when its hovering around freezing sadly.

[ajmoir36]

Same journey -15 degrees resulted about 46mpg.

[Keithuk]

Thoses videos show a 40mph average on cruise so you will get 60mpg plus it on instant mpg.

[ajmoir36]

650 miles to the tank this week total.
