Soarer Forums Junkie Location: Wollongong Registered: May 2002	Re: soarers Sat, 25 January 2003 01:08 Yes, I have also heard about V8 Soarers using less fuel than the TT as well. Here are my fuel figures for pure city driving: 410 km 67 litres Quite hard on the pocket when you have to buy Optimax. Highway driving is better though. I did a few 100km trips, and I managed to get around 550km from the same amount of fuel (67-ish litres). As for fuel use according to driving style, I will be brutally honest and say that flogging the crap out of the car uses virtually the same amount of fuel as not using boost at all. Last time I tried the experiment, I drove without overdrive enabled, and with ECT Power mode switched on (auto trans) and drove like an idiot for the entire tank of fuel. I got 400km out of the tank. Next tank (always Optimax) I kept overdrive enabled all the time, and was in ECT Economy mode. I got ~410km ! So now, I just don't care how I drive, cos it really makes bugger all difference to fuel use in the long run. I have repeated this test many times over the last 18 months, and the results are always the same. [Report message to a moderator]
