Real World Liter / 100 Kilometer

1 mile per gallon = 235.214583 l/100km

Do we need to watch out for Imperial and US gallon differences ?

There are 1.200949857 US gallons to 1 Imperial (UK) gallon (US gallons are smaller). Therefore 20 miles per US gallon (less fuel) is more economical than 20 miles per imperial (UK) gallon (more fuel).

This is going to sound odd - but I'm seeming to get better mileage since I dropped the "light footed" method. I now try and accelerate more briskly to move into the higher gears = lower revs as I think the lower gears burn too much fuel! Either that or my engine is loosening after 2500 km. I have a similar around town speed (even lower) occlusion - your number is atrocious but it should improve.

True, thats very disappointing mileage. My ex-Lexus LS460 (v was doing around 18 l/100 km under the same conditions.
The new Si4 Evoque which is only 4 cylinder-engine yet its performance is a disgrace! Only hopes because its a new engine, and it will get better.....

Mine is making progress, just gone past 800 km mark, and look like its starting to run in. On 150km journey got 8.6l/100km. Pretty pleased with that.

After about 4500kms of stop/start city driving, i'm averaging about 10L/100kms.
Best = 9 L / 100kms
I'm happy with that in the city, and soon i will go for a country run, where it will improve dramatically.

Si4 8,000 odd Kms and have not reset the trip computer and I am on 11.3 per 100.

Started out in high 14s and has been steadily improving but has not moved much in last 1000ks

Mix of city and country driving

Si4 after 2200kms;
I average 10.0L/100km and that's with no freeway driving at all and I drive it pretty hard around the windy roads the central coast has to offer.
My gf averages 8.7L/100km but she is 50/50 normal roads/freeway driving.
Those figures are with air-con on 100% of the time and stereo blaring.
The figures aren't as bad as I thought they would be to be honest.

I'm at 2,500 kms in my SD4 and pretty much sitting flat at 10l/100k combined usage. Average 40km/h.

Granted its a heavier car but given I was hitting 8l/100k in my 1.8T Audi driving it hard, its a little frustrating that it is SO FAR away from the specs. I would never expect to hit the spec in any car, but to be so far away grinds me a bit.

I think it does rev higher in lower gears than it needs to. You pretty much need to top 2000 revs to get into 3rd using command shift.
