Fuel Economy

[Nick-St 17]

Did 165 miles yesterday on motorways, A & B roads getting an average of 29.1mpg. Not too bad considering it's size - I think our old 7.5R would have got around 33mpg on a similar trip.

Did an A road run for about another 110 miles yesterday and got 33mpg (traffic was flowing pretty much all the way, so not much stopping/starting). Have to say I'm pretty impressed its that much!

Great to finally have a fellow Tiguan R owner on the forum. Welcome!

I managed to squeeze nearly 40mpg out of mine on a long run from Swansea to Brum. Was trying hard to max it out all the way though.

I’m heading to Glasgow later and will be interested to see what it achieves. If it can deliver near 40 I’ll be well impressed. That was the territory of my golf R.

I got my figures in Comfort Mode, which seems to make a big difference. Incidentally, the ride is very noticeably smoother in Comfort

Just short of 37 mpg on my 130 mile trip to Glasgow. Very impressed especially given inclement weather and traffic. I told myself I wouldn’t get hung up on mpg with this car but I can see a personal challenge developing!

Still better than I’m doing - 34 is highest so far, but it is fun! Lowest for a complete journey was 21 after a B road blast - you can certainly feel the difference in weight between it and a Golf when braking!
