Fuel Consumption

Well put some Optimax in the FSI for the first time and managed to get 48.2 MPG. Quite impressive. I was driving down to Greenock (south west coast of Scotland) and the surrounding area from Aberdeen with 2 others in the car and a full boot of luggage, averaging around 65mph. Had done around 280 miles and was halfway between 1/2 and 1/4 of a tank. Usually that's when the petrol light comes on

Off topic, I saw your car at the weekend ceedubya, it's stunning mate.

You didn't get a bad 1/4 mile time either

I've got a 2006 1.4 16V sport and i can only get about 43 to 46 mpg out of it.

the 1.4 FSI is fantastic on fuel for a petrol engine.
mine used to get 48.8 on long journeys.

the g/f's gets 52+ mpg quite regulary.

I cant get over 50 when I drive hers. It is remapped though and the extra torque helps a lot.

Usually I only get 290 miles to a tank before the fuel light comes on. My Fiesta did the same on a 40 litre tank and quoted as getting 7 MPG less than the Polo average

I'm way too lazy to convert to MPG.

In my 2.0 8v I between 11 and 12.4km/litre for my daily commute in traffic. I travel between 550 and 620km between fill ups, but when I fill up, I put in 50 litres approx

Hi,

The best consumption I achieved on my Polo Classic 1.6 8v was 718 kilometers on 93 Octane. I had the fuel tank overfilled to about 55 litres. On the long road I kept a constant speed of not more than 110 km/h.

Any info? I have a 2006 1.4 tdi 80ps so far the car has done 4000 miles. The avg fuel mpg is ONLY 46 I think this is totally crap, this is with no town work! Any ideas.
Thanks

i have a 2005 new shape polo, its 1.2 engine and for a full tank (40 pounds worth) i havent been able to get more then 280 miles so im not very happy for a 1.2

Post by **alexperkins** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 6:46 pm

Hehe on my 2000 1.0l E I get something close to 400 miles a tank - I think i worked it out to 57 miles (on a 300 miles round trip) or so to the gallon hehe

Cheers,

Alex
