What MPG do you get?

<< < (9/9)

Dr Strangeglove:
Looks like the 200Tdi has a lot going for it (on the fuel side at least!).  I am quite impressed with the results.

The best mpg I have had (and this is going off the trip computer thingy) was 72 mpg in a Skoda Octavia 1.9 Saloon.  It was on a 42 mile trip including A roads, duel carriage way, motorway, then the twisty + hilly mile and a half at the end of the motorway!  I nursed it for the whole of the journey just to see what I could get out of it (keeping to 55 mph, anticipating traffic lights and keeping the foot on the clutch if I did not need power etc.) but I was still impressed as it was a decent size motor.

On my 70 mile trips to work (in the morning including the M62 past Huddersfield/Leeds at 7 to 7.30 ish in the morning) it would get between 45 - 50 mpg.

I am still impressed with the 72 mpg though (and that included having three tool boxes in the boot!).

Thanks for all your posts.

Regards

Mick
