It is my average mileage for the 10k Kilometers since I bought the car.
For the (continental) European guys and girls: this equals 5.8 litres / 100 km.
Best endurance was 45,58 mpg (5,16 L/100km). These values were always calculated when refueling.
so long,

this van only is driven on highways rear trucks below 80 or 90 km/h, don't?
my best city fuel consumption with a skoda octavia tdi 110cv (cd=0.3, crr=0.85, m=1400kg), was 4.8 L/100km (below 6.4 homologated) but in
heavy traffic, driving close to 6.4 it's far better than a taxi driver. this car burns 5.7 L/100km on higways (at ctt speeds between 110-120-130, i've done several times 2000-6500 kms trips portugal, spain, france, belgium, italy, CH, poland, germany...). Full throttle on autobahn (180-200 cruise speed) burns 10.5 L/100km.
I know your van has very low consumption, and you are a good hypermilling driver but without any modifications on the van, i think it's not a representative use. Are you going alone in your van to work? an Audia A2 3L or VW Lupo would be better than a big van
My Renualt Kangoo 1.5 dci 85 cv is about 5.5 L/100km (620 kg load and 120-130, rarely 140, altought in autobahn acheived 178 km/h gps
My VW LT 35 2.8 CR tdi 158 cv 4025mm wheelbase(15 m3) is about (1250 kg load) is somewhere between 9.5-10.5, rarely driving above 120 km/h)
I heard of your van 6 to 7.5 L/100 km on normal and loaded driving.
Your homologated fuel consumption:
http://www.comerciales.volkswagen.es...s/motores.html
road is equivalent to fuel consumption around 93 km/h (long explanation needed), you can see only one is 2.0 84 cv on doing 6.0 L/100 km, at 120 km/h cruise speed (gps measured) 8-10 L/100km are expected.
I'm very happy of you doing that low consumption. Congratulations.
