Average MPG - Longterm - GTI

[Mr Savage]

My cars stats reset themselves at around 2400 miles. So I lost all my long term data. Anyone else had that happen?

[monkeyhanger]

Yes, at about 2600 mile sof rme - I think it resets every 100 hours of operation.

My record so far 



Record prior to that



But i didn't buy a GTI for saving fuel so my long term is 33mpg.

brilliant figs the best ive seen that given me something to aim at just for fun as your point is bob on, im having it to work work it!  after 3 years of driving like a nun and saving a fortune on benefit in kind tax and fuel with the Prius so i can now afford a Gti

My record so far 

  Wowsers, that is very impressive.  I get excited when I go over 40mpg!

Aaah.  That's good to know as the same happened to me and I couldn't figure out what I had done.  The car in the mpg graphic getting closer to the petrol pump - does that happen on the standard media system as well?  The car picture on mine never seems to move...

Sorry not long term but second journey and longest for my newbie v pleased with mpg, country lanes and B roads.

Checked the long term stats on the wifes car today, its a GTI PP Manual and she always has it in Sport Mode.

970 Miles
Average MPH 34
Average MPG 31.7

The car does not go much further in one run than the 7 miles to work on steady B roads so hardly gets properly warmed up and its taken her over 4 months to get the 970 miles on it!

I'm quite satisfied with that return and its much the same as her TT was, maybe if it every gets enough miles on it to fully bed in then it might improve slightly.

Got these stats today:



Pretty good really.  This was ECO Mode, Air-con off, making lots of use of the speed limiter.  Don't think I could get it much better than this to be honest.

paul some very impressive figs you doing     , i only got mine few days ago, staggering car eh! re trying to get some good figs i drove about 40 yesterday 25 of which motorway (using ACC) balance town, and was pleased with 44mpg, (esp being new, from cold start and it was a cold day) but i will try the speed limiter as you suggest to try and prevent unseen variations in speed from subtle foot movements, but my question is re change up points, are you going off 'feel' set rpm points or using the change up indicator? The latter one seems a bit low rpm to me.

thanks

Well, I only did it as an experiment really - I do not try to achieve the high numbers anymore unless I am doing a boring motorway journey.  But in answer to your question, I was using feel instead of the change up indicator, having said that I was changing up very early. I think the change indicator is slightly premature about when you can feasibly change gear some of the time.

I think I'm getting about 31mpg now.

Hi,  I have a 2 week old DSG GTI, on the Isle of Wight, so not the most economical driving by far! I am achieving pretty well 35mpg on every journey.
