  1. Love to see those superskoda led's in action. Looks like a brilliant birthday present
  2. Well you'd have to be in the slipstream zone. Wifi is complementary with the high mpg Also these national express busses easily do 70 mph. Just a shame that they always seem to take a few exists too early. And although you can utilise their wifi it is very difficult to use their toilet facilities.
  3. Great tip. I wonder if this summer we will get a photo entry of 80mpg plus on the forum.
  4. That's amazing. My greenline doesn't even get close to that. Even when I drive as gentle as possible. Maybe I should have my greenline checked by the dealer.
  5. Okay so I just managed 66.2 on a fairly long drive from Exeter to Basingstoke mainly on A roads. Not a bad score considering temperatures were between 2 and 4C. But how some if you guys/gals get mpg's of over 70 is a mystery to me. Last summer I had some pretty good runs along the M4 behind a national express bus. ( free wifi included if you get close enough). But still no 70 mpg :( On the subject of us mpg dodgers being boring. What can possibly be boring in avoiding paying taxes! Also, if your employer reimburses you 45 pence for every mile you drive than surely doing 70 mpg instead of 45 makes sound financial sense.
  6. Not bad for winter conditions. Let's see what we'll get when temperatures finally get above 10c again.
  7. That's very impressive. Any top tips? £30 road tax is very refreshing indeed. Especially compared to my wife's £280 road tax in her little sports car Driving from Hampshire to Exter tomorrow. Trying to get 60 mpg will be the target with these sort of temperatures.
  8. No way you'll beat that. And you are not allowed to have your car towed on the motorway ????
  9. This summer I managed to get over 69 mpg on a 100+ miles trip. Can you do better? The challenge is to set the record for best mpg and posting a photo on this thread. Of course whilst always adhering to the Highway Code. Prize is a virtual award on this thread. Come on and show your best MPG! Please post a picture and some helpful tips how you've achieved your MPG. Good luck.

  12. Led's installed! However I did get a canbus warning earlier. Although it didn't come on all day yesterday. But after switching the ignition off and on again it disappeared. See how it behaves from now on.
  13. I'll post some pictures of them when it stops raining
  14. Hi there, I'm also new. Gr. from Basingstoke (near Winchester)
  15. Hi everybody! I purchased a superb estate last year and I've become a massive Skoda van since then. So if you see a silver superb estate II in the Basingstoke area give me a wave. ( if it's not me you'll look a bit silly of course)
  16. Hi everybody. I just received my led dlr lights from a company beginning with super and ending with Skoda! They work perfectly in one go and no messages in my car. Also they are super bright. They give two year warranty on them which sounds very good. It even says Superb on the led themselves. Very happy with them. ( unlike my wife who'd rather stick a candle on the car because of the warm light) I had issues with the company ( beginning with Super and ending with Skoda) before because of a different product I purchased. They didn't reply at all to my emails. Until I started a dispute with ( a company starting with Pay and ending with Pal). Then they replied straight away for some reason. Cheerio
