My new baby has a fuel consumption problem

Post by CaptainCognac »

Hey everyone, I'm a noob VW owner, bought a 2006 Polo 1.9TDI 96kW a week and a half ago. I LOVE this thing :eek: BUT, I bought it mainly because of its low fuel consumption, (I'm a student, so rather poor haha). It's not getting the proper fuel consumption though... Even when i drive like an old lady, it averages around 9L/100km, and I feel like that's wrong haha. Any advice on what to do or what might be wrong with the car would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
