How low can you go?

ycb · 06-18-2015, 05:28 PM

Mileage wise? haha ?

test pipes, stage something, eisenmann sport,

11.7 L/100km = 20.1 MPG

Longboarder · 06-18-2015, 05:31 PM

Go down to "zero miles remaining" and then drive for a while until you run out (hopefully with fuel cans in trunk) and then report back please.

I am notoriously bad for titles lol.

Mileage wise ***

s14_kev · 06-18-2015, 05:40 PM

"Low" in L/100km is "High" in MPG. So you're looking for max gas efficiency.

11.7 L/100km is roughly 20 MPG

Longboarder · 06-18-2015, 05:43 PM

wait i'm not that great converting l/km to mpg but if i'm reading this right 11.7 litres is 3 US gallons and 100km is 60 miles so that 20mpg that pretty damn good.

kaede · 06-18-2015, 05:55 PM

Wow... that is really good. I tried driving conservatively and i track my mileage with fuelly app, the best i have ever done was something like 12.2L/100km (19.3mpg) with very very light foot and quite a bit of highway... my average since i started tracking is 13.2L/100km (17.8mpg) and i dont drive aggressively.

Mine is a 08 6MT E90.

anom3 · 06-18-2015, 05:55 PM

the lowest fuel consumption i have been able to achieve on a long distance trip was 10.9l/100.

in 6th going 100km/h for quite some distance.

Best was 11.6 before the test pipes, after it went up to 11.8, noticed today it dropped to 11.7.. so had to take a photo

Just gotta follow the upshift numbers

, seems to be ~2100rpm.

i can't fit fuel cans in my trunk. It makes the occupants wooze from the fumes. Please advise.

w0ady · 06-18-2015, 08:07 PM

I can get 20 on long road trips, usually 12 around town and 6 on track.

pooyab · 06-18-2015, 08:34 PM

I get about 13-15 on my daily drives. 16-18 on my mountain drives. And 19-21 on long trips.

scrammer · 06-18-2015, 08:46 PM

I am at 19.2 L/100km mixed city and hyw. (12.3 mpg)

Zero to the speed limit - tout suite with manual mode only on the DCT

Nothing to be proud of but it is fun!

And then the gauge still lie so probably more like 21l/100km bro...😨

I average just under 16l/100km according to the gauge, but everytime I double check its over 17l/100km...

Froglet · 06-19-2015, 02:23 AM

The best I managed to do was 10l/100km on a straight, flat desert road driving 120km/h on cruise control for 10 minutes. However, under normal conditions it is far worse. I'd say about 17l/100km or so.

Petros · 06-19-2015, 06:54 AM

i average 17-19 l/100km as well

AlpGolcuklu · 06-19-2015, 07:31 AM

No way i can go more than 300+ km full tank

If you haven't yet, have your car updated (software wise). The previous owner of my 2009 never had it updated - I did and almost 2L dropped per 100km for city driving. Also, if I'm casually driving the Autobahn it's now not that hard to achieve 10.x-11.xL/100km either.
