I have just used my first tank of fuel on my 2001 130 tdi and jumped on the internet to find out what my average mpg has been for the past 416 miles!!!
i was quite surprised!!! only 37.7!!!
now ok i might off been abit foot heavy at first to test the car out but not to much and i was quite disapionted!!!!
is that a normal figure you gentlmen (and ladies) would expect:zx11:
Short answer - No.
Driving a 130PD in a spirited manner usually yields around 550 miles for me.
Better behaved and I can achieve 630 miles per tank.
On my 130PD SE (RIP) I once achieved 700 miles on a tank :D
i,ve just used a full tank in my 1.8t manual & got 395 with light now on , ,this is 300 on motorway & rest stop start town driving , ,700 on 1 tank is a pipe dream for me ! , ,
Hehe, thats why I bought a diesel!
Before the Passats I owned a Honda CR-V and was draining 50 litres in four days (around 250 miles) - seemed like the petrol station was my second home :(
How I wish I'd wasted less money by getting a Passat diesel wayyyy sooner!
Well 37.7 mpg is not good i was doing 30 in my integra type r but am gutted about this fuel consumtion!!
anyone with any ideas???
I get between 420-450 around town in my 130tdi sport...., but i don't hang about........better on a run though.
im with you on that i get 280-440 miles/tanks thats about 25-35 mpg, sort of what audi say for my a4 1.8tQuote:

I digress - - -I get maybe 55mpg in my 54 Passat 1.9 130bhp jobbie.
