Hi,

Its been a while since I was last on here. Had my VRS stolen last November.

Since then I have had a 1.8 Civic EX which was cool inside but very slow and a bit grandadish. Then I got a 207 GT 1.6 HDi which I quite like, problem is it doesn't have the oommphhh of the VRS. Plus I have just got the logbook to find 3 previous owners when dealer said 1 so they are happy to take it back. I am thinking of doing this and buying a VRS SE, I miss my old VRS and think this is why I've not been happy with the others.

Anyway, the 207 is costing £70 of diesel to get 500 miles to the tank. I remember the VRS used to get me 380-400 miles to the tank.

Whats it costing to fill up the VRS these days and am I right with around miles to the tank?

Thanks

It's a 45L tank, so just times that by your normal local price per litre for diesel. Say £1.37 a litre would cost £61.65 to fill the tank.

Sounds about right on the miles to tank. Depends on the type of journeys and how hard you push really. 500 miles is possible, and more, if you're gentle and you're doing a fair bit of motorway.

I can only get 500 miles to a tank if really pottering about. 400 to 450 is no problem though with a bit of fun sometimes.

On Shell V Power diesel I'm paying about £65 each time I fill up.

I filled mine up last week from the light coming on and I stopped at £60 that was with filling some of the expasion tank too, I'd say brim full would have been £65-£70

The last fill I got 40.32 litres of Shell Fuel Save, for £56 and the trip said 390 miles. For some reason that works out at only 43 mpg :( . I normally do better than that, (45-50 mpg).

Thats what I miss about this forum, always get help and replies really quickly.

I have found this VRS at a dealer but its miles away. Any idea if Skoda dealers can transport these between them?

I just did a trip to corwall with four adults and a boot full in the cordoba (same 130 engine and 45 litre tank).

Went pretty quick on the motorway (keeping up with the flow... not holding anyone up

We got there with the trip computer still saying 205 miles left and had done 389 up to then.

Like with any car though it depends how you drive it. Been getting around 400 round town with a couple of quick blasts on dual carriageway etc too.

Also seen this Fabia too:

£55 to fill mine up the other week with the fuel light on.

Done 125 miles so far and not even gone down a quarter of a tank and the computer reckons I've over 500 miles left. Since I got it a the beginning of the month I've averaged 60mpg exactly.

Got a run to Unit18 tomorrow so will be on the motorway instead of 3 miles to and from work so should see this go up somewhat.

I reckon on a long run I would get 600miles out of the tank. Will find out next time I visit the parents in Devon!

£60 gets me about 500 miles. OP - dealers will certainly transport cars between themselves yes.

Just cost me £50 from the quarter tank mark to fill up with vPower - think it was 146.9 per litre .

I've done 160 miles and not even down to the three quarters mark yet - in my Lupo GTi I'd have been almost ready to fill up again as I got approx. 190 down to the quarter mark, because of the ridiculously small fuel tank.
