Hi,

Just bought a '98 Octavia 1.9Tdi as my commute to work just became 58 miles each way, from the more reasonable 3.5 miles I used to do in my Saab Turbo... enjoying the 53mpg at motorway speeds :thumbup:

Welcome :)

Hey and welcome along :). Out of interest, what mpg was the Saab giving?

Welcome.

Hey and welcome along :). Out of interest, what mpg was the Saab giving?

I'd guess 30ish, because IME that's the sort of mpg Saabs usually give!

Hi sorry for the delay ... the Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo auto got 24-25 on the 3.5 mile commute and 30 on the motorway in the third lane. my previous 9000 2.3 auto (225hp) one was 23 commute and 27 on a motorway journey, with 'spirited driving' ...

The Skoda just keeps doing 53mpg or in the really bad weather where the sensible speed was in the 50's ... 62mpg !

Happy :) now I just need to find time to service it, get new tyres, sort the loose connection to the heater and top up the battery acid and I'll be happy ! but the first 1700miles have gone well
