You're telling me!

Especially the option allowing your careful driving of the T6 - 2l turbo petrol PLUS supercharger, developing 224kW - to achieve this value.

Possibly if the national speed limit was 90km/h, as it is in winter in Norway, but not at a speed limit of 120km/h or the 75mph equivalent.

From the list, the T5 was not available at the time - 2l turbo petrol making 180kW - but I have one of these, and on a recent trip got the consumption down to 8.2l/100km on a 670km tank, with speed control set to 120km/h, where possible. Ave speed over the distance was 96km/h.

So quoting a possible 6.3l/100km on the T6, is just plain insulting and not achievable under real world conditions.

Possibly in some parallel universe?
