Judging by what others are posting, I'm guessing this ain't good then?

Damn, I haven't seen higher than 17. Good job!

Been revving that 2.0T and doing donuts in the parking lot?

Unless I do a long journey, I'd say I'm always above 16L/100km.

My last tank was 13.

My best was 7.4.

You must be enjoying that turbo a LOT!

Some redneck got in the BMW 1 series in Detroit when I was sat in the driver's seat, he said, "six speed... woah nice!"

I got 26.8L/100KM at my last track day, but in normal driving I get 11.8 on average at the worst (9.8L at best).

Geeez Bob, lay off the boost!

Are you having a problem with the floor mat getting stuck on the gas pedal?? Or it's intended acceleration indeed??

Turbo Bob · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2011, 12:04:29 pm »

Honestly, this is just from a short commute in the cold, and not a particularly fast one either. I can get it down to 7.5 on the highway. Anyone know what the manufacturer numbers are?

It's a turbo. So a little better than that.

That's above the 10/6.6 (city/hwy) liter per 100 km specs for the 2.0T. Too many donuts in the snow?

Gee........makes the 17.3 I get around town this time of year look good!

I just got back from a 800 km roadtrip and averaged 13 with no cruise and running 125-135

Turbo Bob · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2011, 06:20:49 pm »

There is no way you could get 6.6!
