I just used $5 generic ELM327 bluetooth module which i bought from ebay couple of years ago and vagdpf works with it.
I drive both a MKIV and MKVII and they tend to be in the very same range. 48-52mpg I would say is the average with some +/- tanks here and there.
Too much effort.
Looks like you already use Fuelly. I trust the odometer to be fairly accurate. DOT would be very unhappy if it wasn't and there would be another VW scandal if it was really bad. I also trust the fuel pump because they have to have the sticker with the certification by the county weight/measures so they aren't ripping people off. Between the odometer and the fuel pump entered into Fuelly, I go with those numbers
If I used that method, I'd be off an entire 0.5 MPG. How do you live with that margin of error? The horror.
That's really nice!!.You must have learnt how to dodge post injections.New personal best mpg and first 700 mile tank this evening. She just keeps getting better:
.
I monitor with ScanGauge II. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dodging the post injections. My car goes through the full 11-12 minute regen every 250 miles like clockwork, and I grumble as I watch my mpg's go down during that whole time period.That's really nice!!.You must have learnt how to dodge post injections.
When i drive with VAGDPF app in front of me, i get better fuel economy as i can control my foot to dodge post injections.
I generally drive 5-10 mph over the speed limit. About half my commute is a 50mph limit rural two laner and I do 55-60. The other half is a dual highway 55 mph limit and I usually do 60.
Gotcha. I haven’t done topping off in my two CR TDIs. Never figured out a proper ventectomy procedure and I don’t want to remove the misfuel protector for fear of warranty shenanigans by VW.
I thought the cr engines don't have a ventectomy anymore. I just fill mine until it clicks, pull out halfway and go again until it clicks and by then diesel is about to spill out. I get an extra 3/4 gallon that way
I get 600-700 per tank, but I get better mileage than most. If you drive like a bat out of hell, figure 500. That's 11.5 gallons at 43.5 mpg, which seems to be pretty typical for those on here with lead feet.
About half of my commute is on a two-lane 50 mph road and I typically drive 55 on it. I've received two speeding warnings from the Caroline County MD sheriff for doing 60, so I had to back it down. The other half is on a 55 mph four lane divided highway and I typically do 60 there. When I drive all the way in to the DC Metro (New Carrollton station), like I did twice last week, about a third of my commute is a 65 zone on US-50 and I do 65. I typically drive 5-10 over the limit, except when the speed limit is above 55. Then I stick to the speed limit. These cars really lose mpg over 60 mph.
