Good morning folks and as the year draws to a close I thought some of you might be interested in these stats for my 2018 1.5 DSG Petrol Karoq. I did my last fill up of petrol last week and I don't think I will be driving any great distance soon...

 

I did not keep record from August 2018 when I got it but I now have a couple of years of data.

 

Obviously 2020 has been some what of a different year from 2019 and my driving distance have dropped some what.

 

But it does give some ideas on what you might get and may be helpful for others?

 

Lets hope 2021 improves.

 

The last two images show all figures added together to produce a total based on everything but you will see the last few months I have barely been driving any where and the short journeys hammer the MPG.

I wonder if this will give another recently acquired Karoq owner ideas for future reference? 

I find this very confusing. Are these miles or litres?   Is it based on what the car is telling you or "fill to fill" figures 

 

What are the single digit figures, (Aug 2020)?  I can't believe that you were getting 9mpg at times, are these individual journey figures?

Did you really get 99mpg at one point (Dec 2018)?

 

The only chart that makes sense to me is the last one.

MPG on a monthly basis is a bit meaningless.  To me only meaningful figures would be mileage based.  Well for my way of thinking anyway.  Unless a car is filled up religiously on the 1st of every month. 

 

 

 

Last chart is what's known in the trade as a gee-whiz graph. At first glance there are large differences between the months, but this is only because the y-scale starts at 40 rather than zero. Looking at the monthly figures, the difference between worst and best is just over 10% which seems to be correlated with monthly temperature.

John I did a review of our petrol manual 1.5TSi SEL last month at 34 months of ownership and my wife covered 22,000 miles in the first 2 years but since she has been working from home this year her car has covered just 6,000 miles in the last 12 months at an average of 46mpg.

Hmm...

 

All charts show mileage or mileage per gallons not litres.

 

Two types of charts one shows average mileage per day driven the other labelled MPG by month shows what I got compared to how much I was driving the car...

 

The last two show for the entire cars life since I started using the app.

 

When you fill up the car to brim you enter on the android app the mileage and amount of fuel taken to brim the tank I stop filling at first click.

 

Hopefully that helps explain what you are looking at?

Of course YMMV on usefulness but for me there is a clear correlation between warm weather and better MPG, which is no surprise.

 

Also which is no surprise the more often you travel further then your MPG will tend to be better.

 

😉

 

Nothing particularly special about the figures, just interesting to see what charts the app has.

 

Overall average after 29577 miles is 43 MPG but the charts give that figure some context imo.

added overall mpg average

 

Thanks

 

As you gather I missed the chart title under the "MyFuelLog2" headings

 

Aged eyesight is my excuse.
