A Top Off

Driver: 97pssat04golfTDIs
Miles: 379.3
Gallons: 9.004
Model Year: 2004
Model: Golf GLS
Tranny: 5A
Fuel Type: ULSD +PS

MPG: 42.13

Even with limp mode troubles and not doing much to try to drive for economy. First a leaking intercooler, got a new one but still having some minor issues.

Fencemaker · Sep 26, 2008

Driver: Fencemaker
Miles: 2,335
Gallons: 45.236
Model Year: 2006
Model: Jetta
Tranny: 5M
Fuel Type: B3

Equals: 51.62 mpg

This is for my three September fillups combined. Not bad at all for an A5. Finally made 800 miles on one tank during the month to boot!

MikeMars · Sep 26, 2008

My second and final tank of September (dated 17th Sept):

Driver: MikeMars
Miles: 899.3 miles
Gallons: 16.307 (61.73 litres = 13.579 imp gallons)
Model Year: 2000 (early)
Model: Passat 1.9TDi 115hp PD
Tranny: 5M
Fuel Type: ULSD

Really abysmal tank, although the figures do reinforce my suspicion that the previous tank was a short-fill. Not only wasn't it another 1,000 mile tank, I didn't even make 900 miles.

Bad weather, bad traffic, and the evenings are now dark so no more Nice-off P&G on the way home from work. Had to rush for an 80-mile journey which also reduced the MPG.

* Trip computer claims 67.1 imperial mpg.
* Reserve light came on at 797.3 miles.
