--   I don't know if so with non ACC models, but with my SE Tech 1.0 DSG, the only indication of overall milage done by the car seemed to be when switching off - briefly visible in the MFD/Maxidot.  That's until now, when I suddenly discovered that fully pressing down that 3rd control stalk belonging to the cruise control so as to come fully out of cruise, that mileage showed in maxidot.  Pressing that lever down when not having been in cruise does the same thing.  Taken me 2.4 years to find that out.

 

--   Pressing that lever partially and gently when in cruise however leaves that last cruise setting at that last speed setting, but that's probably old news & been aware of that 18 months.

 

--  I don't pay for Amundsen upgrades, nor any Skoda traffic info links to the car, but coming back at the weekend 10 days ago along the M4 - I'd previously checked and found that the junction with the M25 would be closed - but the sat nav map showed that the a small section just before Swindon was also closed & turned out to be true - thick red lines  overlaid on that bit  (there was also a verbal announcement in the car, which I had actually come across before) - I hadn't noticed this closure when checking websites before setting off & I always fairly carefully check at weekends as closures are fairly routine on the M4 just now, Sat & Sun.  A pleasant surprise in one way, but unpleasant discovery on that particular early morning when it was still very dark.

 

--   Finally another 'boring?' economy report.  Going to my M in L on the M25/M11 yesterday, I got an indicated 54mpg (52mpg actual) & 49+mpg actual coming back in the dark on ordinary roads.  i note this as it was fairly warm yesterday, say 13*C average and the roads were dry, whereas the previous week it was colder, wetter & I only got around 45mpg.  That's a 10+% improvement.  I maybe pushed the car a little harder on the earlier journey and was caught in some traffic at the motorway end, bit nothing too drastic, but it adds weight to earlier reports in this forum that cars run more efficiently when warmer & as I've noticed before, in drier weather.

 

I’m glad you found that “every day’s a school day”.
