that cannot be the new skoda 1.6 CR tdi they can get over 70 MPG on a long run wasnt a long run, 10 miles part urban, mainly rural, no 6th gear, in fact no 5th! just call me lightfoot that claimed 70mpg, has it been proven? there are no 70mpg returns on spiritdemonitor, the highest being 66, the average being less than 50mpg |

Fuel economy is amazing. I was able to achieve a regular return of at least 48mpg on my daily commute which consists of very brisk driving. Take it easy, and you can squeeze about 640 miles from a tank of the black stuff. Very highly recommended http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/overview/ ... owerunit=2 |
