What's your MPG & in what engine?
« on: 05 March 2013, 22:31 »
Got this on a motorway run a few weeks ago in my MK6 (1.4 TSI 'Match') & 2nd picture is my range out of a full tank of Shell V-Power.

So what's your typical MPG on e.g urban or motorway trips?

My GTI will do a max of 47 on the motorway sitting at ~70 and my usual urban drive 30-32, but more to the point why is your dash so dirty when you post so much on DW?? :-X

My dash is dirty because I had the window down when on the motorway & it's probably all the dust from outside that's drifted inside the car?  :undecided:

Interesting that your trip computer is different than mine. Whats the little symbol in the km/h row and also my average mpg has an average symbol next to it. And I get approx 56mpg at the moment on the GTD. My video of obtainable mpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8YzHy-nxLg

That symbol next to the km/h row is the bluetooth symbol which I had switched on at the time.

What year is your GTD as that may mean that the setups are different?

Should have closed the window it would have improved your mpg further  :whistle:

Is yours DSG by any chance? As im getting slightly better than yours and that would make sence if so from past experience with the mk5's

It's a manual mate, how much better is yours? You've got me worried now...
