Thanks for this, very interesting link which I will continue to follow up with as a put more miles on my Citigo. It seems I’m bang on average for what people are getting, around 45mpg in the real world. However, I would prefer to follow suit with people on these sorts of threads and set myself challenges with economy driving and have some fun sometimes as well.

Welcome to the club well done to you for getting such great economy! Your wallet will thank you I’m sure. And I’m planning on doing the same, I nice brimmed tank, then drain it which I know can be bad but it can’t hurt one time, and then calculate it from that and perhaps compare with the trip computer. Thanks for your reply

350-400 miles does seem like a fair figure for lots of short trips/town driving which is still quite impressive for the little car. The people on here are seeming to get 64mpg and above though so it’s not impossible, but it probably takes people actually trying to get it rather than driving normally.

Thanks very much for the detailed reply with all of this information and tips and tricks - I’ll be sure to take it all on board to see what sort of figures I can get.

Hi, sorry to reply to an old thread I guess but I’m new to the Skoda forum and am loving my Citigo Black edition now I only just got it, and it’s a hot summer here in the UK so I’ve been using air con a lot (a luxury my old car did not have so happy about that). I just wanted to confirm a few things. I have been driving my car a lot since I got it and I’m not sure which setting on the sat nav trip computer is correct for the mileage I’ve done since I reset it and I’m not sure how much the air con is affecting it. So, if I have it set to “long term” which is what all the pictures on this thread have it set to, it displays 202 miles and 170 miles left in the tank making for about 372 miles of range on the whole tank (with about 45 mpg average atm - a lot of new car fun it you know what I mean - which I know isn’t very good mpg based on this thread. If it’s set to “since start” it displays less miles done but the same range left adding to a crap full tank run of like 240 miles, which I thought can’t be right even at 45 mpg. Can you guys 1) tell me which is the correct setting, long term or since start?, 2) does air con have a significant impact on fuel consumption? and 3) how gently do I need to drive and how long do the trips need to be on average to achieve these 55-65 mpg averages people are getting on here over a full tank?
