HAAS F1 Team announce they are letting both their paid drivers leave at the end of this season. Looks likely that Russian F2 driver Mazepin will be financially backed by his Billionaire father (ring any bells) who has supported his career so far and further speculation Ferrari who supply engines to HAAS may ask Gene Haas to put young Mick Schumacher in the other car with some financial support.

Single manual strut to hold the heavy bonnet and NO Matrix LED headlights available even as an option. Penny pinching again from VAG compared to the Tiguan R.

Mine came with the blind spot and lane assist pack plus the Matrix LED headlights are even brighter than the Vrs245 LED headlights from my 2017 model. I think the dynamic scrolling rear indicators look very cool to.

It probably has both but journalists like to switch everything off. It did better than the Aston Martin DBX with it's similar Mercedes V8 4.0 litre producing the same 542bhp which averaged on test 18.9mpg (official 269gm/km) compared to the Bentley's 20.2mpg (despite having a higher official 302gm/km).

Thanks first week looks SUNNY no rain and between 26C and 29C so I'll try not to get sunburn LOL. Enjoy lockdown.

Think the 4.0V8 twin turbo petrol engine and 2,400kg kerbweight might be why the Bentley has a drink problem?

Not yet Nick sticking swabs down our throats in the morning, then take to a depot in Nottingham, they despatch to a lab in London or Liverpool then hopefully Saturday get our negative results, fill in the new Passenger Locator Form and QR bar code then we can set off to the Airport Sunday morning. The joys of leaving the UK in 2020.

Someone said my 36mph average was slow yet I saw this today in Auto Express from a 542bhp Bentley Bentayga just 22mpg at 32mph average.

I think I must be copying you because my 2020 Superb SEL is a diesel, has the Virtual Dash (which I'm very pleased with having been sceptical, tells me I'm using 11kw of power cruising on the motorway), Canton sound including the dash speaker and sub in the rear boot compartment but with 12 speakers and 610w it is fantastic, reversing camera (sorry you lost a customer there if I kept the Sportline Plus) but I only have the 8" Amundsen rather than your 9" Columbus and only my driver's seat is electric. Almost forgot it has the electric tailgate like your estate and Black leather seats also which I can't do without now. Realised that having lots of toys in the car reduces the stress levels on my 54 mile daily commute. Keep up the good work and you have more power over our buying habits than perhaps you realise. Subliminal brainwashing I think.

My Feb 2020 150PS DSG SEL diesel done 188 miles since last Saturday and showing 805 miles range left. Done 6,440 miles from new and indicated average of 69mpg.

We will be landing in Cyprus this Sunday and staying in Paphos for 2 weeks if you want to be our holiday guide..........only joking........welcome back to the Skoda family and my first warm Skoda was a 2004 Vrs Fabia 130PS diesel in Silver and it was indeed a torque monster.

That's why he is on my IGNORE LIST. He knows everything without any actual experience of owning or running the car he is talking about.

Best tonight so far after 75,65,72,68 now 78mpg. After 161 miles driven only 880 miles left in the tank giving 1,041 mile range. Perhaps one day an EV will travel 1,000 miles on a 5 minute charge.

Colin closed the 272 thread please keep up xman. Remap would help overtake those annoying tractors.

We had holidays in Hawaii in April and Scotland in early June cancelled due to the PLAGUE..........

Well my Mk3 Octavia 2.0TDi manual went from 147 to 186bhp in 2014 so that might happen next Spring.

John drinking 5 gallons of ketchup is clearly not good for your waistline. To Nick H if the mods stop picking on me and banning me I might consider FREEDOM membership but still feeling a lot of negative Waves from FREEDOM members and I don't want to be as grumpy and depressed as some clearly are (my wife works with mentally challenged people). Some good news from 6am on Tuesday 20th October I won't be on Briskoda until I finish my 3 weeks holiday as it is time to concentrate on more important things like walking along the beach in 28C temps and sinking a few cold ones.

Sadly no toys have been available for staff to purchase in 2020 due the Worldwide Covid-19 Pandemic. Even friends and family are disappointed by this development. Nice picture is that a self portrait.

You must have worked out by now that I like a challenge. I remember when you were the second most popular contributor on Briskoda behind George. Now I'm number one so I expect some people will dislike me. My 2016 Superb 1.4TSi manual SE managed 800 miles on one tank for comparison if anyone wants to compare a 150PS petrol to the latest 150PS diesel and the cost savings to be made.

To start the ball rolling.

Thought I would ask folk who run the latest 150PS Diesel in the Superb Mk3.5 facelift either manual or 7 speed DSG what is the best MPG (photo appreciated) showing how many miles driven if possible and the best range on a tank. Only had my car for 3 days but it already impressing as the combined average from Skoda is quoted as 72mpg with a highway figure of 78mpg and the combined co2 is stated at 103gm/km which is the lowest of all the Skoda's I have owned in the last 17 years. 5 Commutes so far with bests of 75/65/72/68 and 78mpg tonight.

Was hoping to crack 80mpg tonight (81.4mpg when I pulled off the motorway) but got stuck behind a DHL HGV doing 18mph (stuck in 3rd gear) for 2 miles through 30mph roadworks so only managed 78.5mpg. Still after 161 miles still have 880 miles left in the tank.

I spent just over £1,200 on fuel in my Superb 272 petrol hatch in 10 months and 9,400 miles so let's be generous and say £120 per month and round it up to 1,000 miles per month. The 150PS Superb diesel DSG SEL I have just switched to is telling me it will do 1,000 miles on the same 66 litre tank which currently costs £1.10 per litre or just under £73 per month based upon 1,000 miles per month saving me approximately £47 per month. To cover 1,000 miles in an average EV would require 250kWh of electricity but I have no idea what that cost is because we only use about £1.40 per day of electric and this includes wife working from home since March 2020 due to the Pandemic. Both cars are now £150 VED per year the petrol averaged 40mpg and the diesel is averaging 70mpg for comparison.
