well done, is that the highest you have got on it? mine is nearly the same. and that was after a 200+ mile run on the motor way and into blackpool and look at the fuel gauge it hardly moved from when i had brimmed it

the readout isnt to be trusted tho

after 10 fillups (brim-brim) keeping milage records will give a proper figure

on http://www.spritmonitor.de (the biggest online MPG database) the 105ps shows 66-46mpg with an average of 54mpg

but its a big car with a (fairly) smallish engine so that good

yeah but that was a 200+ mile drive on motorways sitting at 60-70MPH, so it still maybe got 60ish MPG, my octavia would have drank nearly half a tank but the superbs needle hardly moved!

if you had brimmed it before going and brimmed it when yoy got back, at the same pump/same cutoff it would give you a fugure

needles and readouts are only vague indicators
