Range on a full tank

Post by Scammo1 » Tue Apr 27, 2021 1:30 pm

So when I fill up to the petrol tank completely, the range indicator on my dash usually says 280 miles.

Friend of mine with an RS4 told me his is usually over 300 miles.

I know it is just a usually inaccurate indicator and calculated on previous driving, but what do you guys get?

Thanks. Makes sense as I don’t do many long motorway drives.

220 actual miles is the best I can hope for from a full tank but not complaining.

200 to 220 in normal use and close to 300 max with cruise control and without any fun...

I get about 300 every time on Shell VPower, a mix of around town, A/B roads and motorway. And that's not creeping around either.

I did a reasonable amount of driving to sites around the country, and mostly in traffic, so set the cruise and just went with the flow. Best I got was 330 miles but it was incredibly dull.

Im sure mine shows range of more than 350 when I fill it..... I confirm tomorrow. But I dont hammer it constantly. Just drive it like a daily driver, and have a bit of fun once in a while.

I assume you mean 305 and not 350?

335 on last fill and stayed there for 3 days lol. I really need to reset the clock and see what I actually get out of a tank.
