Why is our Polo's fuel economy the same as our Audi TT's?
I have covered 5700 miles, all on V-Power, in our 2011 Polo 1.2TSI 105 following your recommendation. It’s a great car in all aspects but one. On a run I average low forties to the gallon which is exactly what my 2009 Audi TT 2.0 TSFI DSG coupe does. I accept we will never get the fuel economy the stats suggest, but a 1200cc 4-cylinder engine achieving the same as a 2000cc 4-cylinder appears wrong. Has there been a notified fuel economy issue with TSI engines?

I only got about 44mpg out of a Polo 1.2TSI 105, and the same as from the larger Mk VII Golf with the 1.2TSI. But you'll find other people's experiences in www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg. Please add yours.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
