The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

[bobkatkat]

Don't hate me but this is my average mileage from driving around the city. Stage 3 getting over 800km to the tank of city driving!

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

Better than the ~11.5L/100km I get in the Passat.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

I'm getting 11L in the city before winter came, and I'm getting 13L+ with the winter fuel........

Mine isn't quite as good as yours.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

Ya realistically i should be in the 13-14 litres/100.

I was averaging 17 all summer, which is a number I would expect and live with.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

Jesus no fair. I drive the Henday most days and the best I can muster is 11. Add in a fresh snowfall that drops to 13 real fast.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

I do 11.9L/100km in the Range Rover, that seems like an economy car compared to some of the numbers here.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

2012 ram does 14l/100km summer 18l/100km winter.

2007 rs4 does 12l/100km summer and about 14l/100km winter.

Need more time in the rs4 to find out winter a little better.

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

Ya this is ridiculously good mileage. I have been tightening up everything on the car chasing down a slow boosting issue. Ryan ( mantis, D.S.) has tweaked my tune helping me while I figured out the slow boost ( I have narrowed it down to a wast gate not closing completely) I have been watching AFRs and EG temps and everything is right where it should be. Car runs great, quick etc just a little slower that it should be because it is slow to reach requested boost. I am now spaying W/M down starting at 5 lbs of boost just to make sure that if there is an issue temps are managed. There are no codes no fuel trim issues. The only thing that has been done is tweaks to the tune wizardry that Ryan has done like putting back in the EGs, and other tweaks to make the tune a bit safer. The mileage really went down after I replace the two green check valves and installed my Crankcase vent system.

I will do a long log session of part throttle cruising around town to see what is up by that I mean to give that data to Ryan ( mantis, D.S.) . Till then I will just enjoy only having to fill up once a month

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

Hold up, I've got a fair amount of seat time in tip-top stg3 cars summer and winter, and have barely seen 54L last 750km on the highway. That's with 94 octane from Chevron even. Usually with mild city driving on Shell 91oct I see ~ 9-10L/100km.

Are you just getting this straight off the DIS, or actually calculating observed mileage using the amount of litres you pump to refill and the trip odometer reading?

Re: The Fast and the Frugal 7.6

I miss my Gti... managed 830km on 54L that little 1.8T did alright with the stuff that was done to it.

The 3.2 is thirsty, I remember coming back from Miami with it I was averaging 20mpg... but was averaging 100mph across most states as well. haha

I know normally I would be happy with 350-400 around town. Look at the fuel gauge in my image. I used that to got 320 km???!
