MPG of 2.0 TFSi

[joeyrich69]

Hello, a quick question for all of the petrol vrs owners out there.

How accurate are the fuel consumption figures given by Skoda? Are these figures easily achieved?

I have recently graduated, and I am workin away from home, and would like to treat myself to a new car. I have had a test drive of the Octy vrs and would really like one, however I have been driving my dads diesel audi for the last 6 months, and I like not having to go to the pumps that often! I would consider the diesel vrs, but i think that will be stretching my budget!

I am also considering the Furby vrs - I have driven this car, and liked this car as well! On the money side of things, I am in favour of buying this car! However, if money was no object, I'd personally go for the Octy vrs, but I'd like to have a rough idea of running costs before i commit! I can't decide! Help!!

Any advice ladies and gentlemen?:confused:

Thanks

Joe

Octy 2 vRS 23 mpg round town air con on, steady 70 air con on 34 mpg, add 3 to 7 mpg for air-con off. Fabia vRS 50 mpg mixed driving air con on/off. 46 mpg more spirited mixed driving, BBQ meet anyone HTH (These are Wallet figures rather than computer read out.)

Had my Octavia vRS 2months now

Averaging 32mpg, can achieve nearly 40mpg on a trip down the A14 (constant flow of traffic at 60mph), falls through the floor when thrashed (15mpg). Economy is helped by using super unleaded.

Go on, treat yourself!...I did and I have no regrets.

Costing me £50 a week at the mo...

Ah, well - I knew what I was getting myself into! Bit of a comedown from £40 every 2-3 weeks...

The first 2500 miles have been covered at 29 mpg. I do have a heavy right foot though. I think driven sensibly you should achieve low 30s. It really depends as the other day I drove home from work (8 miles) and achieved 40mpg.

Done 13k and averages around 31mpg, 1 mpg lower than the computer says. Worst was 27mpg, steady 100mph journey, best 37mpg keeping to speed limits. If you drive like a vicar it will do 40mpg, though driving this slowly is not what the car was made for.

If you are worried about fuel, buy a diesel.

My average at the moment is 30.3 mpg. If i have a long enough run down the motorway its in the high 30's or even longer journey sticking in 6th up and over 40 stick to 75-80mph.

That's not too bad really is it.
