That is a great looking gauge setup

 

wow, impressive

why can't we get them here

 

Look ahead to experiencing the same Paul.
V8TDI sits around 6.7 on a similar run but will report what the new one does, especially with the AdBlue difference, I assume yours doesn't have that.
VW are pretty good with their diesels for sure!

 

I got 6.4 on a 150km drive from Noosa. Highway speeds for the most part.

I know some will say that the car isn't accurate. But assuming the car calculates volume of fuel consumed via fuel metering and it knows how far it's gone, I can't see how it can be too far wrong

Seriously impressed that a 2.3 tonne SUV with a 4.0 V8 can do those kind of numbers. Of course it's equally capable of significantly higher consumption if you want it to

 

I've got 5.7 to 6 L/100 Km on frequent runs to Caloundra and back. Just me on board but still impressive economy. Also at highway speeds! I measured the fuel used over distance on a drive to Charleville (about 700 km each way) and return last year, and the car's calculated consumption was within 0.2 L/100 so I'm happy with the instrumentation accuracy.

As stated above, impressive economy from, in my case a 3 Litre 2 ton car!!

 

Sunshine Coast to Tweed heads return 430Kms. Perfect run down hardly stopped at all. Arrive tweed heads 5.4. Return trip stop start at border crossing and peak hour Monday afternoon in Brisbane. End result 5.8 for the total return trip. Better than my Golf

 

That’s excellent and something to think about, curious how many do you currently have?

 

How many What ? Wolfie

 

Sorry, I meant to say how many KMS do you currently have haha

 

Only 35,000

 

I am getting 12 pulling a 2.5 tonne caravan at 100kph With no wind.

 

I am getting 16.7 towing a 2.3 t New Age 16 footer in the Kimberley sitting on 95 kmh must be the gradients.

 

2012 V6 TDI ,160k, Pirelli scorpion tyres at 40psi. Melbourne to Moss Vale NSW approx 750km, highway driving 110kph most of the way, recorded 6.8l/100. I was pretty happy with that.

 

Towed the 1.6 tonne camper trailer down to Ballina last week... 7.8l/100km towing over the 93kms. Sat on 100kph 90% of the way

 

Not bad fuels consumption
