How economical is the petrol Volkswagen Passat?

Hi, could anyone tell me where to get the fuel consumption for the 1.4 TSI petrol engine as used in the 2008 Volkswagen Passat? I'm thinking of that car for low tax - doing about 19,000 miles per annum but that will fall to 6,000 per annum next year.

Thanks, Rtb, Galway.

Hi Ronan,

The officially quoted fuel consumption figure for the Passat B6 model with the 1.4 TSI 122hp engine was 7.5 litres per 100km (or 39mpg) combined, with the urban and extra urban figures working out at 10 litres/100km (28mpg) and 6.1 litres/100km (46mpg).

Hope that helps.
