Edmachine Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I drive a VW Golf Mk5 (2004) 2.0L and I average around 6.9-7.2l/100km. (after I've driven through the city it says 6.9, but for shorter distances, say, to the shop, it gives me ~7.2, so I dunno) I maintain a TCO spreadsheet where I input the odometer reading, how much, when and for how much I fueled up and then calculate the fuel consumption from that, but I don't think I'm doing that quite right, because currently I take the liters I fueled up, times 100, divided by the distance driven up until I fueled up. But what I should be doing is using the distance driven from the fueling up to the next one. But then I will not have used all of the fuel I put in... It's just confusing me. Fun fact: in a year and 2.5 months I've spent €432.92 on diesel. epoxi 1 We will be the arms that lift you up We will be the hand that strike you down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svip Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It was all fun and games until the diesels showed up. There should be a sign on the door saying 'No diesels allowed!'

visionist Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 When I reset my trip it reads as 7.4MPG (Imperial not Federal) average, lol. I eventually achieved 27MPG average in seventh at 80ish mph but repeated stints up-to and beyond 150 reduced that to 25ish MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
