Model (Code / Model Year): Volkswagen Golf VII GTI (MY2017)

Engine: four-cylinder Turbo charged petrol engine (1984cm³) - Engine code EA888Transmission: 6-speed manual transmissionPerformance: 230hp / 350Nm0 to 100km/h: 6.4 secTop speed: 250km/h (155mp/h)Weight: 1.289kgFuel tank (US gallons): 50 liters (13.21 US gallons)

The video below shows the approximate fuel consumption at different (constant) speeds. However, I drove this particular car for 20.800 kilometer on regular driving in different driving conditions. This resulted in a calculated fuel consumption during this trip averaged out at 7.49l / 100km. An overview of this (calculated) fuel consumption can be found under this link on Spritmonitor.de.

In the video I did a test of the consumption at different speeds. Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances. As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.
