Just collected my Greenline II Estate from Preston Motors in East London after it's first service.

9500 miles now covered, no issues.

First service £110. Car cleaned too.

Just filled it up with fuel again, got 43.76 litres of diesel in as range was showing as 5 miles.

I tend to leave any car low on fuel when I take it in, old habbit. Not a reflection on the dealer.

Engine starting to loosen nicely now. Average for this tank on fuelly was 78.4mpg over 755 miles. Last tank was 78.6mpg over 705 miles.

Overall still impressed.

Usually get bored with any car after six months, but still going strong in this one.

Had a Roomster Scout for a day to trial it.

Nice vehicle, very practical, but made me realise how good the climate control is in the GL2.

It really makes the dash look nicer and saves constantly adjusting plastic dials due to varying outside temperatures.

It had the 1.6 diesel, which I have to say is noticably quieter than the 1.2 in the Greenline though.

Anyway, just an update...

Are your MPG calculations from tank to tank manual calculations or reading off the MFD?

Nice report back CT. Sounds like you are doing well with it!

Manual tank to tank using fuelly. So correct.

My MFD shows over 80 for nearly every trip and I got 94mpg coming in one day on that! It's a tad optimistic.

I hope one day you manage to get it over the 100mpg mark, on the MFD at least anyway!

I did try, but only managed 95.7mpg as my highest so far...

755 miles a tank . If it was as fun as a vRS I'd be tempted to trade in :p

Why do you think I have this: http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/202729-richards-09-mki-vrs-se/

It's why I'm quite happy driving about at 60mph.

How is it possible to have a 2009 mk1 vrs?

Latest I have ever seen is an 07

I can't remember which page it's on.

Basically it is a 2007, but due to a dealer storing the car or having it on display it was never registered until March 2009.

It's a bit unique as it's later registered than several mkII Fabias.

Good new's, mines about to hit 5,000 miles, seem to be on around 74mpg on this tank so far, on 600 miles and says 100 left.

Looks like it will just continue to get better, seems to have increased by around 6MPG since I picked it up, so hopefully in another 5,000 will improve to around 80 as your seeing.

I can average 85mpg going steady, sitting at 60, but often have to slow down etc on motorways, which is frustrating.

My car has just had it's 10000 service also, getting no where near your MPGs mainly running around town on 30mph roads, another 2000 miles for this engine to get to 10000.

Awaiting a new injector now, Skoda cannot understand why it has taken 8000 miles to become faulty.

Mine's over 13000 miles now, service came and went, £102 (but they didn't clean it). No probs so far, only get mid 50's mpg, but then I'm traveling at 80mph most of the time.

I'm sure they mentioned that the 20K service is £200+ but can't remember what for now! Love the car but improvements could be made for engine noise at higher speeds 70+ and comfier seat for the driver (lumber support and under thigh support needed).

Out of interest, if you travel at those speeds didn't you consider a 1.6 deisel instead with 105 bhp?
