My Skoda Superb's fuel economy is excellent.
We recently bought a Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI. My wife and I went away for the weekend and, on our return home on 1 April 2012, emailed friends regarding the 71mpg showing on its fuel meter. One of our sceptical friends immediately rang me commenting on my April Fool's Day joke. A great car, well worth considering.

The Real Life Fuel Economy Register average is 54.8mpg, as you will eventually find, which is still good for a big car. But adding your one trip figure will alter the average upwards, slightly. www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.

Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom. Clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon. GreenLine model is very economical. A lot of car for the money.
