Yes I know - this figure is abnormally good from literally almost everyone else with an ATL. You have previously stated you don’t drive slowly, just keep to the speed limits when cruising, which I do as well:
In Akoya, I can just about get to 63mpg over a tank if it has been all long journeys and I try really hard for all of that time.
In Audrey, I can’t get quite as good figures, despite their specs being identical (apart from Audrey having the @timmus intercooler and a PTW instead of a MYP, both of which combined should, if anything, help rather than hinder consumption figures. Both cars have working thermostats and temp sensors, both cars are freshly serviced, both cars are on the same wheels (pepperpots) and high efficiency tyres set to full load pressures per the sticker.
Now I don’t doubt you’re a pro hypermiler and incorporate many fuel-saving techniques into your driving style, yet the fact remains you are consistently able to get at least 10% better figures than the rest of us who watch such things (therefore it is reasonable to assume that “us” drive more economically than most). This plus the fact that I get different results from two near-identically spec’d cars leads me to conclude there may be something else mechanical in it that can vary from one car to another. I think this TV setting could account for some of that. @Edwrai - have you ever checked what TV your engine is set to run at? Could you check next time you have VCDS hooked up?
I will be fitting Audrey with one a @depronman EGR housing next time I have my cambelt done, as I do believe that will help also.
I also run pepperpots with cross climate tyres. Also worth noting I use a 195 55 15 tyres which is the same outer diameter as the standard setup on an a2. If you are running larger diameter tyres this would reduce your indicated speed and your mpg.
