Golfer Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I am getting 35MPG+ from the 635D Sport you should be bettering that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 the 'd' is averaging nearly 35mpg at the moment, am sure it would be better but plenty of traffic jams recently put and end to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibroker Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have a new S Line TDI 170 with just 700 miles on the clock It started off at 35 average and is now up to 40. Not good but when your coming from a 4x4 that was doing 22 to the gallon its a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good but when your coming from a 4x4 that was doing 22 to the gallon its a huge improvement. Is that quattro? I have a fwd (170) with 500 miles and i'm getting about 38 avg but the miles to date are mostly motorway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJno1 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have the 2.0 TDi 140 in my Eos. Prior to it's remap, I was averaging around 40mpg. Since the remap, I've been seeing between 46-50mpg. And that's from mainly local driving. Maybe it's down to new/tight engine etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Well I just had my best tankful yet on the 320d auto, with an average of 54mpg, that was mainly gentle driving though, which is normally spolit by a load of city stuff, but I was very impressed. Problem is you are never happy, for the first 75% of the tank it was showing 57mpg, and although a week ago I was itching to get it up from 48 to the 50 mark I was gutted I didn't get 60 this tank! Normally though I see about 39-44mpg, that is gunning around and doing lots of city driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its the FWD same as yours. I have yet do do a decent run in the car, the 40 is around town. Mind you a guy did ask me why I was pushing the car instead of driving it+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redavant Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Mine has always been around 36 mpg, I even got it checked out by Audi as I thought it should have been much better, funnily enough no faults found. Except maybe drivers right foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 same as me, did london and back yesterday and averaged 38 in a 170 with quattro this week... 3.0tdi cab - 36 mpg, 1000 miles+ 50% on motorway in fast line, 50% on b-roads at NSL also, audi cab is 200kg heavier.... maybe you guys are all fat bastards?

maersk Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Round trip yesterday of 50+ miles of fast dual carriageway and quick A roads in the A4 170. Result 47 mpg (actual) 5k on the clock and it has gradually got better. I have found after a six year conversion to diesel that if you drive it like a petrol it gulps fuel.

Drinks Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well I've had my first diesel for 2 weeks, feel free to give me some frugal driving tips. I thought I'd been driving like Miss Daisy but it would be interesting to see if I'm right or wrong. I'm sure my economy is down to the new engine not my driving:p. Oh and Chav, I certainly don't weigh 200kg more than you:fecker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way do you drive it differently to a petrol? Just in case it is my driving style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibroker Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I reset the computer after my first post and over the last 200 miles a mixture of B roads and dual's I have averaged 41.4 I will admit I have been gentle around town but on the dual stretch's I was between 70 and 90 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1975 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Performance diesels often disappoint when it comes to fuel consumption. The 2.0 TDI PD VAG engine is poor for both performance and fuel. Hopefully the new engine in the A4 will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maersk Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Use less revs and allow the torque to do the business. More than 3k is unnecessary.....................unless you are 'making a statment'........yes i do from time to time. :D There is a different driving stylee here.

cruiser647 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I have driven the Bora 115 PD for 60K miles in 2 yrs, and I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I have ever taken it above 3K revs. As said above, there really is no need to go beyond 3K. Max torque is at 1500 -2500 rpm, when the turbo kicks in, so why waste fuel going over that - besides, it makes more noise! Not sure I'd be the same if I had a V6 TDi....... with the V6 sound. I won't bother with the MPG as it is a totally different car to the heavier, bigger engined A4's edit - less gear changing is needed to boot.

pitch3110 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Low 40's regular here & mid to high 40's on a run, but...........don't trust you DIS's, mine is always along way out & regulary shows 50 ave per tank, which is WRONG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Tiguan 2l tdi loaner recently and must say I was less than impressed with the MPG return from the car. On my usual journey if I use the wifes car I average around 25mpg (RRsport), if I use my A2 I get about 36mpg and the Tiguan returned a huge 27mpg - was not impressed.
