Macan SD - Miles from a full tank ?

[BigPhil]

I run mine on Sport at all times and get 550 easy.

Sport+ is a whole new beast though

Wow, I must be doing something wrong! I have a 75L tank and have consistently over 4,500 miles averaged around 400 miles. I always drive in Sport though and quite a lot of town driving.

mmmm ..... I always drive in sport.......lots of town driving......there's the clues!

I'm trying to imagine I'm in a GTS! Drive everywhere in Sport with PSE on and get my MPG as low as possible. [emoji16]

Might be interesting to run a tank on Sport mode only and one tank on comfort mode only and compare the two...

I have found that the MPG on mine is surprisingly similar, whether I'm in Economy (normal/comfort) mode or Sport mode. I drive mostly in Sport mode for the more responsive throttle, and nearly always with the suspension set at Low.

Thanks guys - v helpful to get the feedback. I was hoping for around 550 to 600 given 75l tank but as a few if you have said perhaps it's only done 450 on a mixed bag of driving as it's only the first ever tank of fuel used! Hopefully will see some improvement with age!

Even with a full tank mine has fuel range showing of 520 miles so no idea how some peops on this thread are saying they get 650!?

1. You need the 75l tank. Doubt you'll see 600+ with the 60l one.

2. Your recent average mpg needs to be something reasonable like 37-38mpg. Range is obviously computed (somehow - not seen the exact details anywhere) from an estimated fuel volume remaining times an estimate of average mpg (probably l/km actually, then converted to miles).

[Paul]

Range is calculated from fuel left in tank compared to how you've been driving since the trip 1 was last zeroed (ie the last time you switched the car off)
The range estimate can often go up significantly, especially on a diesel and specifically if your last few runs gave been relatively short and thirsty. As above, 35 mpg++ used to be my average on a good, mixed, high speed run and my 75 l tank often showed a 600 miles range......

Doesn't the car need to have been off for some time (2 hours is it?) before the trip rezeroes itself?
