It's like that at the Nurburgring, 8MPG on the track and the light comes on half way round. Leave the circuit to go and get some fuel and by the time you get there the lights gone back off and the range has gone up!  :laugh:


....You probably already know the reason why: The mpg is calculated smartly on-the-fly and so it re-adjusts as you come off track and drive 'normally'.

[T_T will correct me if I'm wrong]

Yup!  :wink:

Phew, I thought you were talking about the price of the stuff for a minute!

Same here  :laugh:


I have noticed the range figure going up on my dad's 1.9 TDI sometimes.

EDIT:
Of topic but can you see the range figure on a midline display or just highline?

....If by the term "range" you mean how many miles remaining before fill up, then yes you have this display option on Midline (06-build 05-plate GTI).

it's part of the trip computer so doesn't matter if you have mid/highline.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
