Stock 2017 Golf R. Fuel economy spec is 23 city / 30 hwy / 25 combo. Over MANY tanks of gas (say, the last several months) it has dropped to 12 city / 23 hwy / 20 extended average. And when I check hwy, I'm not going crazy speeds... I just drove 45min at about 40-65mph, cruise control mostly, and got 22.8 mpg.
I'm at the dealer (prepaid, so why not) for my 30K service for the next couple hours. Just had a conversation with the service director about it... first thought was winter gas (but this has been going on too long for that), second thought was unfortunately I don't quite reach 200F oil temp on my 2.5mi city commute (but I typically get on the highway at least once a week) so it could need a fuel injector cleaning, but instead of pushing the sale they suggest waiting for summer gas first. Thoughts?
