I made the videos you guys were talking about with my car...
Thanks for your efforts with the video clips.
I can’t say I dwelt much on the T-Jet performance.
But I guess they confirm, as expected, that petrol mpg falls as speed increases.
This is in some contrast with M-Jet performance – where, depending on the rev envelope, diesel mpg improves as speed increases.
Most of the time my black-box is set to [av.mpg] read-out – but sometimes I switch to [inst. mpg] for the fascination of watching mpg improve when moving towards & holding at around 2Krevs/70mph.
In your Golf 2.0 TDI clips (#53) – it appears to me there’s not much difference in the mpg read-outs, although at 65mph there appears more fluctuation. At 50mph your revs appear around 1.6K - whereas at 65mph a sweeter 2K.
Recently I’ve been using a SEAT Exeo (aka Audi A4 B7) 2.0 120HP TDI. The av.mpg is 49.3 – but falls back without a good 70mph run.
