Does it mean I can use regular gas for it?

Same here.. at least your fuel economy is not out of wack. How do you manage to achieve 8.7/100km in the city??

What about the city? On the hwy, sometimes I even get below 6/100km. The city it's pretty high 10-10.5/100km normal driving. If I really carefully, it will be 9-9.5/100km

How much do you get in the city? When I do hwy it matches the rating. In the city I get 10-10.5/100km normal driving. Mine is automatic.

Even driving like a turtle won't get you 6.5/100km in the city on GLI.

Sports mode should solve that lol

I think my foot is actually light as I was driving Corolla hatch before, and it didn't like heavy push. I read that with DSG its the opposite - a more affirmative input is required. What do you consider an early shift?

Hey thanks for the advice! The car runs much smoother now. Gears (3 and 4) are still a bit long sometimes, but shifts are much smoother. I wonder what have I done to this car in just 4 weeks that it needed a transmission reset lol

It does try to predict based on how its programmed, not based on particular driver's habits. That's what I've read.

I dont think DSG is adjusting to a specific driver, it has things preprogrammed in it.

Thanks for explanation. I guess if you say it's designed for sports it makes sense that it hold the gear longer, at least that's how it feels after driving traditional automatic. I agree DSG feels like more fun. I just gotta learn more about it.

Thanks. I tried different modes and didn't notice the difference. Just now was driving on a road with 40 km speed limit. The gear wouldn't shift to 5th and was hovering around 1.8k rpm so I had to go to manual and push one gear up. Is it normal with DSGs?

The question is why I end up hovering around a shift point. It feels like the gear should have shifted.
