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!  :skid:

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!

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?
