Update on car! Back from holidays..
I haven't finished the 2nd fill up yet, but its currently only @ 6.7 L/100kms right now for the tank! 42 MPiG or 35 MPG with approximately 580 kms traveled and computer stating still have about another 210 kms left. 2nd fill up was 745kms @ 52 litres or 465 miles @ 11.45 Imp Gallon or 13.75 US Gallon
This week I have done some some mileage test based on computer.
Basically its from work to home (32kms) 20 miles ( 9 traffic lights and 3 stops signs )
Speed @ 118 kms/hr 73 MPH (cruise setting ) for 28kms highway run. Rest is city. AC on 5.6L/100kms or 50 MPiG, or 42 MPG
Speed @ 110 kms/hr 68 MPH (cruise setting ) for 28kms highway run. Rest is city. AC off 5.0L/100kms or 56 MPiG, or 47 MPG
Basically I would say normal driving, work and around town is giving me a range of around 800kms/500miles. VW claims that for city rating and 1200 kms for highway.
Soon I'll have a long cruise test for it thus seeing what I can really get on the highway. 170 km trip one way. Thus will have better idea of real world highway numbers.
Sticker price was MSRP was $26,750.00 plus all the taxes and other stuff! Car is the 2.0L Turbo diesel Comfortline with the multimedia package and 6 speed automatic. It would be nice if it had another gear or 2, so that the engine RPM would be near 1800 @ 120kms/hr, but it doesn't!
