Alright, so I have an 06 TDi with 5mt and the 16" Biolines, and running straight dino fuel.
I am consistently getting around 40 to 42mpg when driving, both mixed and city driving, with top speeds around 110km/h and a slightly heavy foot. Is this good? I think I can get more out of this car/engine.
And here are the real questions:
1. Will the cold temperatures right now affect the fuel economy that I am getting? Its usually around -15C to -30C here in Northern Ontario.
2. What is the best engine speed to run at? I try to keep keep the engine around 2000 rpm to prevent glazing of the cylinder walls at a lower rpm.
