Did your D4D use a lot of fuel in the beginning?

I've gotten my Av only 1½ week ago and have only taken it for 1300km

My last use of diesel was 7,7 l/100km .. can this be right??

Sure I've been using the aircon, preheater and cruise control more then you normally would (gotta test it out ;D) but besides that, I've been driving it economically, in my own opinion, and 7,7 is far from the 6 l/100km from the toyota specs

Will this be better af the first few thousand km?

 

hallo zz24hours,

this is ok. by my car, it was the same.
my average consumtion is 7,625 l/100km.
I am not a slow driver

ok ... well, I hope it gets a bit better in a while .. 7,7 is unacceptable with the driving that I've done sofar ;-)

 

@zz24hours

In fact, we also regarded an unexpectedly high consumption:
An average of about 8,5 l/100km.

Our last measure a few days ago and the least consumption so far; wed covered medium distance at a maximum of 130km/h and an average significantly below 100km/h:

48,1l/633km=7,6 l/100km.


Meanwhile - after 8000. km - we assume that the engine generally needs more fuel than those of manufactuerers like BMW and VW (we actually can compare three cars directly).

 

ok, thank you


I'll just have to wait and see if I can push it further then.

I've had experience with the VAG TDI's and even when driving them hard, they normally only used 5,8 - 6 l/100km.

Had I driven them like I've done the AV the last week, the consumption would be around 5,2.

But then again, the pleasure of driving the AV is much bigger, less noise, less rattles, more equipment.

 

@zz24hours

We as well experienced differences in Diesel consumption of about 1l/100km between our AV and the PASSAT TDI.
Nevertheless, our AV is the car where driving is connected with more comfort und fun.

 

Hello!

Did you calculate the consumption manually or do you trust the board-computer? The board computer is rather a random-number-generator :-).

I need in average 7,5 l/100 km [mainly city traffic].
My lowest consumption so far (not "economy"-optimized!): 6,3 l/100 km [mainly overland]. My highest: 9,1 l/100 km [a high speed tour ;-)]

Greetings,
Uwe

 

Its calculated
Just checking what the BC suggest the range to be, should convince people that its better to turn it off

I filled her up yesterday morning and have really put an efford into driving economically - in the 220km covered sofar, the bc says 6,2 l/100. This is 50/50 autobahn with 120-140 km/h and highway with 90 km/h. Looking forward to getting the real consumption calculated.

Just to examplify the BC's inaccuracy, it says that the range on this tank, should be just below 700km. Using its own calculated average consumption, the range is 950km.
