normaly run in period is d first 1000 km, after the first oil change. During this period, just dun push the rpm too high & too fast. Just take it as a V... be gentle... ;p
for info, i manage to clock about 7.5 km/liter & that will translate to about 480 on a 61 liter tank!!! ofcourse u muz drive like a lamb... not a wolf.. still waiting for my 1st 1000km to reach....

let me just briefly desc how i do the consumption tracking: top up till full tank, reset trip meter. When the needle hit half tank, go for another full tank. From the amount of liter been pump in & the trip travel, you can guage the lm/liter liao... personally feel that this give a better guage as compare to the full tank method...

Normally, it hit about 200km at half mark, but only manage another 150km more after the half mark, so its miss-leading that cause of the 200km, one would get 400km by the end of full tank which is not!

You may want to try the tiptronic/steptronic (whatever... the manual gear thingy). You can leave it in first gear & floor it until red line - quite good! :D
But if you do the above, kiss consumption bye bye. Me worse record (to-date) is less than 250 km on a full tank...
But whatta blast! You should attend the next meet so we can chat! There are a few other autos too! Cheers!
