So it’s worth looking at if you plan on keeping the car for some time.
Let´s be honest; If you improve performance, you want to use it sometimes so no gain in mpg. However you get a nicer car to drive.

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?

The problem is that "T6" included a wide variety of engines, from the early stonking 3L straight six turbos, to the new, high tech 2L turbo+supercharged mild hybrids. It would be good if that could be differentiated...
