Fuel Milage ?'s

[Red96TSI]

I have a 96 Talon TSI AWD and I was wondering if anyone knew the capacity of the fuel tank and what kind of fuel milage a normal driven turbo car should get. This car has no mods that I know of.
Any help is apreciated

Fuel tank capacity is 17 gallons (16.9 to be exact). Most people I've seen get around 20 MPG, maybe a bit more. I get 19-20 around town, and around 25 on the highway.

you get 340+ miles to a tank?? thats insane, i didnt even get that when the car was completely stock. I get maybe 180 to a tank now.

I beleive the AWD's have a 15.9 gallon tank, check your owners manual to be sure.

I got 350 miles on my last tank, thats with mostly city driving, 7 drag passes and lots of logging runs (not actually tuning anything, all settings are still stock). I think you guys getting really low mileage need to change your O2 sensor or something.

The service manual I have says 16.9, but I thought that sounded high, too. I don't get 340 miles per tank, but I don't let it go until I'm on fumes, either.

If I remember correctly, you are right about FWD's, but AWD's have 15.9 gallon tanks due to the driveshaft (this is all from memory, I could be wrong).

I'm pretty sure Talons have smaller fuel tanks, seeing as how when my gas light comes on, and i fill the car up, i only manage to put in about 12.7 Gallons (if i drive around all day with the gas light on...)

I'm thinkin it has a 13 Gallon tank... the highest miles i managed in one tank was like 321.

Wasn't there a recall o the 2G's for a leak at the gas tank filler pipe? That would ruin gas mileage. Both of my cars take about 12.5 gallons when the low gas warning light begins to glow. 20 mpg average.

I'd second the Talons having smaller tanks thing!

Crappy little things. I can only ever stuff 45 liters in there even if it is way low and on fumes.

there are 3.78 liters to the us gallon, according to the side of a gallon of Mobile 1 , so I don't really wanna do the math, its late.

Also, I go about 425 kilometers on one of my tanks.

My car is modded a bit, but not in the fuel department. If I drive nice I can do a bit better, but if I drive hard, it will be quite a bit less. Still better than a Mustang tho, no matter how hard I drive.
