MK7 GTD - Real Life MPG

[Sootchucker]

Pretty chuffed with mine too. Not too shabby for a DSG equipped GTD. Coming back from Preston along the M6 at rush hour so speeds anywhere between 60-70mph. Driver profile "Individual" with engine set to normal. That range of 520 miles is with me already covering 126 miles so a theoretical range of 646 miles.

Mine's still crap, and has been since it went in for its first service last August when changes were made (which saw me get twice as many regens) - it has never been the same since. Had a very leisurely drive to Durham (24 miles each way) on uncluttered roads, about 1/4 of it on a 50mph average speed camera monitored stretch of the A194(M). 46mpg each way, and it was quite warm out.

Bring on the R with 28-30mpg.

Mine's very good at the moment on a couple of runs to the outskirts Manchester (120 miles each way, 95% motorway), according to the computer 59.6mpg... we'll see what it really was when I fill up but experience shows it'll be close to 58mpg with that reading. Average speed was > 60mph...

What changes were done during your service mate that made it less fuel efficient and cause more Regens?

My cars getting it's first service next month, hope mine doesn't suffer the same fate

Wish I knew, but at least the driving mode amnesia sorted itself out. I do wonder whether the official fuel and MAF output readings logged by the ECU seemed unusually low because of what the car thought it needed (pre-tuning box signal modifications) and VW "corrected" the car.

Whats the maximum range these do from a tank? I've seen a few people have cracked the 500 mark but could you achieve say 550?

I got 66.7mpg yesterday from Sunderland to teesside park on the a19 in eco mode with the acc set to 58 and climate control set at 22. Set it to normal mode on the way back and just got 57mpg, must be all up hill from teesside haha

It entirely depends on your fuel consumption  Effective range is about 11 (as 50 litres is about 11 gallons) times your fuel consumption, so at 60mpg... close to 660 miles would be achievable

Indeed, my best is 550 miles after a week of mostly motorway cruising and I get 500 more often than not.

With more town driving I will get closer to 450.

I might try and hit 600 now it's getting warmer!

Personal best is 572. Still aiming for 600.
