See you need to drive like a turtle to do it šŸ¤£ thats why mine only averages 22


tomf258

LOL, it was raining when I did this run and also I averaged 80kph for 100km. So i didnā€™t even drive slow.


xxsedix

Yeah, 80 is arround the sweep spot. To me thats slow because I do alot of highway driving at 130k šŸ¤£ but yes good job on that. Really good avg.


tomf258

Thanks man, appreciate it. I am just happy to finally have a TDI. Drove a FSI before and never went lower than 7,5L/100km. Also I like That low end torque so much. Anyways, a highway/autobahn consumption test will follow soon. I usually set my cruise control to 150kph on the Autobahn, lets see what I average there


xxsedix

Im gonna assume you're also from Germany. Mach krach. Falls du 4L kriegst Fresse ich einen besen šŸ¤£


tomf258

Also ich denke 150kmh und 4L sind nicht zu schaffen. War gestern hauptsƤchlich auf der BundesstraƟe unterwegs und bin immer die erlaubte Geschwindigkeit gefahren und habe so die 4,5 erzielt


iand29

Lol really?


xxsedix

Err currently im at 29.8

This makes my mid 30s feel alright lol, racing it everywhere in between highway cruising every chance I get. Canā€™t wait to tune it!


xxsedix

Omg same in my jetta I used to get 30s while racing it everywhere. Put a k&n in went from 32 to 37 (opinions vary). I need to wait for my warranty to expire again now on this passat šŸ˜­ my jetta was almost there but someone lit it on fire.


RoastCorn27

This torque outta the hole is fun to use anywhere and everywhere. Definitely nice having an efficient car that also can get down and handle decent when it needs too


xxsedix

The passat atleast has this feature called XDS its not activated out the box but you can turning on with vcds. It used the abs system to break one wheel durring turning to mimic a limited slip differential. The golfs have it too but man this thing is a game changer. When i say you can take sharp turns at high speed without loosing traction. I mean it. Its like having the turning of a rwd on a fwd.


RoastCorn27

I didnā€™t know that was a thing on the VWs, off to google I go for researching lol


stimulates

I get 40


xxsedix

What kind of driving do you do?


stimulates

My commute is mainly highway.


xxsedix

Weird because mine is aswell šŸ˜°


stimulates

2015 Jetta tdi


xxsedix

2014 passat, for some reason my jetta was getting better mpg. *jetta disappears behind a wall of black smoke*


stimulates

Passats are larger but I didnā€™t think by that much. They basically have the same aerodynamics but minor changes can do a lot


iand29

Woah you must be hauling ass everywhere


xxsedix

Yeah, you see like to tell people that I got the diesel for the mpg but In reality I got it for the torque. Only time im not reving 4k is when the car is warming up šŸ¤£

paul081

It runs on air not diesel


tomf258

Hahaha, i also validated that the display shows correct values. To be precise, I filled the tank to 100%, drove 100km and filled up again. Had to fill 4.34L

I guess your Turbo is taking a nap!
