Real world fuel efficiency of the Volkswagen Taigun 1.5L DSG

Done with 4K on my Taigun. Have now reasonable sense on how the car consumes fuel with different driving modes.

Taigun real world fuel efficiency numbers for my car (GT1.5).

Done with 4K on my Taigun. Have now reasonable sense on how the car consumes fuel with different driving modes.

Case1 (worst): Daily city drive/ home to office commute; 3 km takes 10-20 mins, one stretch of bad traffic.

FE: 6.5KMPL to 8.5KMPL.

Case2a: Long city drive; 20 km in 40 mins, mix of signals and moderate traffic and excellent driving (no over taking, less strong accelerations and braking).

FE: 15KMPL to 16KMPL.

Case2b: Long city drive; 20 km in 40 mins, mix of signals and moderate traffic and fast driving (over taking, intermittent accelerations and braking).

FE: 12KMPL to 14KMPL.

Case3a: Highway drive; avg. steady 60-80 kmph,

FE: 22KMPL to 24KMPL (On Pune-Mumbai stretch which involves slope, this can touch 25 for the full drive, attached pic was post navigating a km long queue at Vashi toll).

Case3b: Highway drive; Fast/ overtaking. (bordering permissible limits or beyond).

FE: 15KMPL to 17KMPL.

Here's what BHPian stringbh had to say on the matter:

Thanks for sharing. So, this is in tune with the preview that with a heavy foot, there is significant drop in FE, particularly for short drives.

Here's what BHPian asmr had to say on the matter:

These are good figures. My VWT 1.0L car is <10 days old, 310 kms on odo, with 70 km of it on highways. I have seen averages between 5.6 to 15kmpl. My commute is 20 kms one way. I just did a full tank this morning with a mix of different petrols. Let's see in 2 weeks or so how this turns out.
