Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

When I owned my chipped only GLI, I got no more than 400-425km's per tank. My current S4 gets around 325-350 km's per tank but you mentioned yours got 450-500 km's per tank in the city!!! What gives??

I get between 525-550 kms consistently in the city. 600-650 on the highways. Not sure why people are getting such horrible fuel economy here??

I usually got about the same Sean, but mine was stock except for a cold air intake

Sean, my grandmother puts her foot down more than you do. She doesn't even have a drivers licence.

Thanks Colin for believing in me haha.

George, I got over 700kms from a tank earlier this spring/summer on the way out to my cabin. Not a tdi but the best I have seen for a 1.8t in a while

But a lot of it has to do with your alignment and driving habits. I accelerate moderately from lights, never lag behind but don't usually take off like a bat out of hell unless I have to get around somebody beside me. And also I find that my unitronic stg 1+ gives me better fuel economy than stock.

with the revo stage 2 in my first jetta i was getting 550-550 in the city and also drove it hard. highway i got 800km on a tank which really surprised me! thats with shell 91, in my opinion it seems to last the longest.

I still get over 500 with big turbo and uni 830 and I'm not exactly light footed

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

After owning my .:R for over 2 years, I still couldnt give 2 shits about my fuel economy. I bought the car fully aware of how I plan to drive it EVERYTIME I get behind the wheel. I'm more than happy with my 400-450kms per tank

Consistent full time work helps.

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

wow you guys are lucky. I can't keep my foot off the gas to hear the VR...lets just say im lucky to get 380 on a tank... (mind you my commute to school is stop and go/ playground zones the whole way, not exactly best for mileage) Highway is much better though.

My VR got between 400-600km to a tank. Although I think the Unitronic chip improved fuel economy a bit, I'd never get more than 450 before.

How big are MK4 fuel tanks? 55 liters?

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

Oh...BTW Sean...forgot to mention I did 140kph the whole way back...but honestly... 700 in a 1.8t is really good...you said you drive like an ole lady! Lol

Re: 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8t

Nice ride, too bad the thirsty S4 was cost prohibitive... but it's always better to be happy.

I "downgraded" as well from my last car and couldn't be happier!

My vote is to do a Frankenturbo and don't skimp on the meth. The results are proven and it's not all that costly to install and upkeep.
