The Skoda equvilant of VW's Passat Bluemotion

After coming across Joe's video yesterday, I wondered if there is a Skoda Superb verison of this Passat that has a 70L tank?

Volkswagen Passat. 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Tech

Looking around for a long distance runner which is comfortable and can achieve good mileage on 1 tank of diesel. I have driven an estate SE Edition 2.0 in the past. I'm not too worried about a 1.6L and with it being gutless as it will be a cruiser. However, I want to avoid any of the engined with bad oil issues, etc. If not, I may look into picking one of these up.

Any advice?

@Dean I believe the MkIII 2.0 190PS has a 60 litre tank with a six litre reserve so four litres short of the seventy.
I suspect the 1.6 would have the same tank fitted 🤷‍♂️

I replaced my Passat Estate 2.0tdi 150 bhp with a Superb Estate basically the same engine but DSG transmission.

The tank is about the same size, but currently it’s achieved at best 5mpg less that the Passat. It must be the extra weight (slightly larger, heavier gearbox and better seats, plus more toys.

I hope me improves to 60+ mpg but it might take a while for the engine to fully loosen up 🤷‍♂️
