My last car would display a stable MPG figure, only changing every few trips.

 

My Fabia on the other hand has 2 MPG readings, 1 changes every second and the other changing every 10 seconds or so. I'm guessing that the latter is the one i should be paying attention to but it fluctuates quite a lot ranging from ~30mpg - ~75mpg on a 16 mile trip.

 

Does that sound right?

One mpg figure is actual as you are driving the other is average mpg for the journey.

You have instant MPG reading and 2 averages. 1 average resets itself when the car is not driven for a few hours and the other keep on averaging until you reset it. The two averages have a number on each screen so you know which one is which

Cheers guys. found the button under the stick, currently at 47.7mpg

Hi, it's still early days for you and the car to get ' use ' to each other, once you get the feel of the car and engine I would expect you to get mid 50s mpg, as long as you are reasonable gentle with your fight foot, I think the best I got from my mk11 Fabia from n Yorks to south Bucks was 63.9 and about 62 on way back and that includes the infamous M25 ......

Incidentally I managed 68 ish return trip in the mk1 ( same journey ) and my wife can often get 70+ mpg over a 40 mile round trip and she certainly don't drive like your granny........

Great engine the 1.9 tdi keep the oil and filter changed min every 10k miles, ours in once a year approx 7k ( main reason to keep both our 1.9's our annual mileage would poss cause issues with a dpf ) and I prefer driving a diesel and compared to my works van both skoda's are reasonable quite
