Asked by Dragisa
I BOUGHT a new VW Golf 2.0-litre TDI diesel, six-speed manual, and on a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide and back, driving normally, without pushing the car, obeying speed limits and loaded with gear for two for a week's holiday, I did 1495km using 72.4 litres of diesel -- a little over 4.8 litres/100km. Average consumption in city driving is about 5.7 litres/100km. I'm proud of those figures.
Answered by CarsGuide
10 Aug 2006YOU'VE done well, but I often hear reports of VW drivers getting fewer than 5.0 litres/100km from their diesels on a run and 5.5 to 6.0 litres/100km around town. They're now all converted to self-igniters.
