Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a 09' Turbo S and about 2 weeks ago, I brought my car in for the first annual service. After that, the car has been getting (frankly criminal) mileage. I always fill up the car with 94 octane from Chevron. PCM shows I've been averaging 36.4L/100KM (thats how we do it in Canada ) which apparently converts to 6.4 miles/US gallon. I wouldn't consider my right foot as the prime suspect because I haven't been driving the car that would resemble such an appalling mileage - although flexing my right foot can be extremely addictive. couple days ago I decided to see what kind of mileage I can get with extremely cautious driving and all I could manage was 26.4L/100KM (8.9 miles/gallon). Im wondering if this could be a potential symptom of any engine part failure. Are there any members in here who are getting about the same mileage?

Thanks in Advance,
John,

 

I think my wife gets 12-14 MPG under normal (some stop lights, ocwasional throttle mash, etc.) city driving conditions.

 

08 turbo here and in horrible stop and go traffic averaging under 15mph i get 11mpg.

 

I get anywhere from 15 to 20 mpg pretty regularly .. mostly highway driving ~85 mph in my '09 CTTS

 

14 mpg is reasonable to expect for a daily driver

a little better if more highway time

a little worse if more city traffic

a lot worse if stoplight drag racing

 

I average 12-14.

 

08' Turbo 15-18 gpm.

i would say it was a fuel leak, but i know you wuld notice that. Let us know what you find out.
