What is the fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Polo 1.6 manual?

[StAdam]

In urban areas, it consumes 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, while on highways, it can achieve a minimum of 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Low gear high-speed driving: This mistake is mainly made by drivers of manual transmission vehicles, and occasionally by automatic transmission drivers as well. For manual transmission drivers, especially beginners, who struggle to balance gear selection with speed and fail to monitor engine RPM and instantaneous fuel consumption on the dashboard, they often press the accelerator hard while in low gear. Sometimes, the engine RPM even exceeds 3500. This wastes unnecessary fuel. Frequent braking: While braking is essential for ensuring driving safety, its major drawback is increased fuel consumption. Speed is gained by accelerating, and without braking, the car would travel farther. Braking wastes the fuel already burned, requiring more acceleration to move forward again. This is not to suggest avoiding braking altogether, but rather to use it appropriately.
