LOL, he said $1.419.....$1.1419 would have been a steel...

Just filled up. Spent a few min pouring 251ml of power service into a container then filling the car. Dumbest thing I did? not wear gloves...

$1.389 at Pioneer in London

Paid 147.9 in kingston
98 L to fill the brand new touareg
145$ total is Crazy!!!

At least I did get 1162km to the first tank and I was using the breakin procedures. So not exactly cruising for economy.

Can't wait for a summer road trip to see what the touareg can really do.

It's a badass SUV, enjoy it. Worth every penny IMO

Thats better than 9L/100km. Pretty impressive for a suv without trying.

Put $80 of diesel in the TDI. $1.419 in Milton.

LNXGUY · Feb 27, 2014

I forget what I paid at the Husky at 88 on Wed, I think it was $1.41 something or other.

1.429 few days ago from Petro Canada... dam cold and city driving are killing my FE (~ 6.1-6.4 per hundred)

I miss my TDI.

1/3 is a bit extreme.

I can get 1400km to a tank in my car without even trying. That is 100% better than a similarly equiped gas Jetta that would be lucky to get 700km on a tank.

Please enlighten

am I missing something here?, If I get 800 k a tank tops now even flushing in the reserve zone I'm happy..

2.2TDI · Feb 28, 2014

^ Yea if I see a 1000km with venting I'm happy...

Wingnut · Feb 28, 2014

My car is not stock.

ECU flash, bigger injectors, bigger intercooler, bigger exhaust, bigger injection pump and a 6 speed transmission. With all these modifications, I was able to get 1609km on a 62 litre fill up.....ONCE. It was a very slow (speed limit) drive to Michigan and back. Not likely to do that any time soon.

Driving normally on my commute, 85% highway, 15% city, I usually get 1400km in the summer and 1250km in the winter. If I drive hard, take 100km off each of those numbers (1300 & 1150 respectively).

mrrhtuner · Feb 28, 2014

That's awesome Wingnut. What do you think was the biggest contributing factor to gaining a better km/L?

2.2TDI · Feb 28, 2014

Indeed, I sure would like to see those numbers... I'm wondering what would be the best for the buck... I know the 6 speed helps a lot cruising at 120, but it's not cheap either... Best I got was 1300km in the summer before I did any sort of mods

jayoldschool · Feb 28, 2014

I'm happily knocking down 800km 49L tanks in my 2000 auto Jetta. Not happy paying 1.449...

I think the concensus is that the six-speed IS awesome and will help highway MPG, but not enough to pay for itself for 99.9% of people. The biggest thing you can do is to drop down to 110 km/h from 120. Drag increases at the square of velocity. I won't always do this, but you have to know that the extra speed costs.

Diesel vs. Gasoline

I always track my mileage, and thought at the start of 2014 I would start tracking cost per litre of Diesel versus Gas every time I filled up.

Here's my end of year findings...

With the recent drastic drop in gasoline prices, and of course diesel being always more costly versus gas in the winter, it will be interesting to see how this sways the 2015 numbers.

For 2014, the cost for diesel was only a few cents more per litre, but that difference is more than offset by the much better fuel economy (as we all know

).

If your wondering what caused the spike near the 38th fill up data point... well that was a lengthy trip into Quebec and I had no choice but to get some fuel to make it at least back into Ontario.

I was thinking the same thing for 2015...saw on the news something along the lines of gas being 98 cents per liter on average for the whole year. If that's the case, I'm curious to see if in the summer diesel will drop to say 85 cents a liter if gas will hover around 95

Before the sudden drop of gas prices at the end of 2014 the average difference between diesel and gas was 3.5 cents, max difference was 16 cents and the min difference was -9 cents (when diesel was cheaper

). All these numbers are according to my fill-ups.

But 2015 is not looking as good... the numbers from when gas prices started to drop in 2014 (late Nov.) and including my first fill in 2015 are as follows; the average difference between diesel and gas was 23.25 cents, max difference was 27 cents and the min difference was 16 cents (all favour gasoline

).

Bring on Summer!

TDIGAZ · Jan 6, 2015

If any of our American friends are reading this thread, or any others who are interested in the cost difference but would like an "apples to apples" comparison and the whole "litres to US gallon" conversion is not working for them... here's the numbers for the same period as above in percentage.

Before the sudden drop of gas prices at the end of 2014 the average difference between diesel and gas was 2.99%, max difference was 13.13% and the min difference was -6.14% (when diesel was cheaper

). All these numbers are according to my fill-ups.

But 2015 is not looking as good... the numbers from when gas prices started to drop in 2014 (late Nov.) and including my first fill in 2015 are as follows; the average difference between diesel and gas was 25.63%, max difference was 31.43%

and the min difference was 16.02% (all favour gasoline

).

I may have exaggerated a bit on the 10 cents, but, I do fill up in the Peterborough area when at school because it usually is cheaper than Toronto by a few cents. Regardless, let's hope we see diesel cheaper then gas in the summer... I really want to fill up for less then 60 bucks a tank

timk519 · Jan 6, 2015

What's puzzling me is that cheap station on Hwy 6 is at $1.00 / liter, while prices elsewhere are upwards of $1.10 and even $1.15!

Yeah, I know how you feel. I tend to avoid stations whose prices are out of whack with others nearby. I tend to use the same 2 or 3 stations all the time, not sure if it's habit or fear, but it's worked so far.

i filled up there at 102.9 last week

gas was 87.9 :'(

glick · Jan 6, 2015

Whats the address of that one? Its not showing up on GasBuddy

timk519 · Jan 6, 2015

It's on Hwy 6 towards the intersection of 6 and 5. That station and Global are usually compete for the lowest price on Hwy 6.

timk519 · Jan 6, 2015

Here's the location:
A&I Petroleum
859 Hwy 6c & 5th Concession W
Flamborough, ON L0R 2H1

imo000 · Jan 6, 2015

Unless you drive right by those stations on 6, it's not worth the effor to go out of your way to save a couple bucks on a tank.

You mean like those people that sit in line at Costco idling away to save $5 a tank?
