well, your car has a fault, so get the fault fixed and see if that helps.

MY mesasuring method is refuel to maxium and when i go back after 100km or last time 300km refuel again and calculate it.
when i'm on my way in the city and i can driving without stopping than currently display shows me 4,5-10l consumption it's depending on how i push gas pedal or how going the road, but when i have to stop because of red light or just traffic on that case every time the currently display shows me 49,9l/100km and this is how i get 11l/100 km consumption.
But this car need to be average consumption
2.0 TDI DSG 47.1 mpg 51.3 mpg
http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/...008/20-tdi-dsg
so 6,2l/100km
this is average so if i use in city i have to get approx 7-8l/100km not 11l...
i hpe i was understandable because of my english is bad. :)
it's seem car goning well i feel its power on right way. I don't hear any odd noise. I don't know what would you think what else it could be.Quote:

That reading shows the MPG at that instant snapshot and it'll change depending on how you drive, whether you're stationary, WOT, pootling along a country lane etc. You've proven that in your comment which I've bolded above. Of course it reads less the more you push the pedal, you're using more fuel.Quote:

Run the current tank of fuel to as near as empty as you can without completely running out of fuel and fill up the tank to the top. Make a note of how much fuel you have put it - we'll call this amount F.
Before you drive away, reset your odometer so that the mileage reads zero - don't touch it again.
Drive as normal until the fuel light comes on again or until you are as near to empty as you dare and make a note of how many miles you have covered - we'll call this figure M.
Now get out your abacus and do the following;
(M / F) x 4.54609 (the number of litres in one imperial gallon)
That will give you a value for the MPG for that tank of fuel.
Repeat the process a few times and then work out the average.
Don't forget it is winter so there is a natural drop in MPG due to conditions.
Your English is better than quite a few native Englishers, don't worry ;)

But that's what i did .
How i did exactly filled up to maximum and i drove it till the light and than i filled up to maximum again and that'S how i calculated i think this way is more right on spot
example
if i drove 800km and i have to fill up 49,6l
than under 100km = 6,2l
so (100*49,6)/800=6,2l and i think that's enough good measuring method.
This is how i got more times in the city 11l/100km fuel consumption
And i can't imagine how it's possible?
What's wrong with the car?
Mechanic checked with his computer and it said engine sístem is fine...
But the consumption ...
