Hi everyone beezer owner here. I'm running the 100PD engine and I've picked up on some of your comments on MPG. Considering that I'm running the same engine? I don't think I'm getting anything like your figures. Majority of my travel is a round trip of 50 miles a day. My fuel light/buzzer comes on at the 7ltr remaining point and the tank has given me 400 miles. So I'm thinking another 65 miles perhaps. This tank is 45 litres/10 gallons, surely with the figures you guys are advertising I should be getting alot more to the tank. By the way my car has done 30k and I suppose I'm driving at 80mph most of the time. Should I get dealer to interigate VAG.COM?

Ive Just had my vRS for 1 month now and Im averaging 48mpg at the moment and am told that this will increase once the engine has bedded in.

Is it the 1.9 ltr engine youve got?

Yeh 1.9PD but 100 bhp instead of your 130

On the 100PD engine I get around 50mpg average around town. Out on the motorway 60+ is possible. I wouldn't be worried unless it consistantly gets into the 30's or low 40's.

Considering I'm checking this average mpg whilst I'm driving to work and I'm doing 80 most of the time, do you think I should speak with the dealer - its going in for a gearbox strip on thursday.

My dad gets about 55-60 MPG out of his Polo TDI Sport 100 (motorway driving mainly).

What I get depends on the driving, but its been as low as 25 MPG and as high as 55 MPG, but usually somewhere in between.

Not really seems reasonable to me, if a little on the heavy drinker side. Depends also on your fuel too.

over 1800 miles in my vrs I have manage 51mpg.

Best was 62mpg over about 500 miles.

did not lookout for a worst, was too busy driving

On my 31 mile each way commute avaeraging 70-80 I get typically 54-56mpg from the vrs over a journey time of 45 mins

Round trip of 50 miles today doing 80+mph, I got an average of 47mpg on the computer. On normal commute I see between 55-60mpg but that does take in a bit more town driving which tends to bring the average up. If you're worried, the dealer can interrogate the ECU or you can get someone with VAG-COM to check the MAF readings, etc.

80+ and you're killing the fuel economy..

you should try driving up the motorway do around 200 miles at 60/65 and report back on you mpg.

I've had 72mpg out of my 1.9TDi - typically I am in the 60+ mpg range.

If you do a trip like I say, fill yer tank up, get your tyre pressures sorted (34 psi all around), and see what you get at the end of it. Anywhere between 60-70 mpg should be a normal and good figure. If it is, there's nothing to worry about, your car's fine.
