MPG For 2.0 TFSI Quattro

**zartok** · 10-05-2009,08:07 PM

After 1300 miles I average 32 on the the 30 mph run to work. I managed 38 on a 400 mile round trip of mixed A roads and motorways.

I have done a total of just over 2000 miles in my car now. On a round trip today of approx 190 miles on A14 ,M6, M42 ( and therefore either crawling or doing around 75 ) it avaraged 38.7 mpg . !!

It's definitely getting better as more miles go on clock

300 miles on the clock on my 2.0T Quattro Avant (manual) and am averaging high 20s on mainly shortish country lane runs. I'm sure I've read somewhere (on this forum?) that the Tfsi engines only kick into their lean-burn cycle if driven exactly on the recommended gears (which seems to involve letting it run at sub-1500 RPM much of the time, neatly contradicting the advice in the manual)!

Have noticed that I achieved maybe 2-3 MPG higher once I'd cleaned the dealer's knocking-gas out and replaced it with 98 (currently on BP Ultimate) and power delivery is noticably smoother too.

After several years of motorway hammering in a Ford 2.0 diesel, am just enjoying the experience and trying not to worry too much about the fuel! Have a longer trip coming up soon, which will easily take it beyond the first 1000 miles, so looking forward to stretching the legs a bit more...

I did a 120 mile drive on Sunday, motorway 98% of the way. Pretty clear motorway and set cruise at 70, ac on set to 19 and averaged over 42mpg (according to the DIS) for the journey. Just hit 5000 miles and the fuel consumption does appear to have improved.

I did a 120 mile journey over the weekend and the set the cruise to 75. According to the DIS I averaged 38.7. My cars done just over 1600 miles.

Just as well I set it at 75 as I passed a parked up unmarked black Volvo estate with dirty stinking low down traffic man with his camera out!

Not Quattro but 2.0t B8, now done 9000 miles.

I averaged 45.3mpg from Stafford to Manchester, 70% motorway.

That's the highest I've had it, but if careful get 40mpg quite often....but then careful is also dull and what's the point of having 200+ ponies and not using them

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but interested what was the longer term mpg for your cars? I have another thread about mpg, but found this one really useful.

Hi,

I had a 2.0 TFSi Quattro manual.

The best I ever got on a run was circa 40mpg, but over the 21,000+ miles that I had the car, it averaged 34.2mpg. (I kept records !) That was according to the On Board Computer, which are always optimistic by at least 10%.

So in real world driving you are unlikely to better 30mpg. The good news is fuel is cheaper now than when I had my car!

Hope that is of some help

Thanks that's really helpful. Yeah I always compare cars by what the DIS says as I don't keep figures separately. Honestly that doesn't sound too bad, not vastly different to what I've been used to. I think the post-2012 car I'm interested in might have marginally better mpg on long runs too?

I had a test-drive in an A4Q. Wow. Truly breathtaking car, like being glued to the road, so planted.

However, I couldn't get better than 24mpg on my test run. Ouch. Too thirsty for me - maybe a diesel?
