Aye, but 20mpg is the REAL mileage...I guarentee the vRS won't see 45mpg! Although it will probably be better than 20!

lol at pope's Y- fronts . Mine is still fine but looking at the exhaust bolts, it'd be fun(not) when it's time to change it.

I thought I'd be happy with about 100 mpg to be honest and was actually surprised and pleased to find, it did so much better. Clocked it a few times just to be sure and sure enough, it was that good

I do between 3000 and 4000 miles a month, I'm on first name terms with the local petrol station unfortunately

Sad fact is in another year or two fuel will be £2 a litre... And people will still pay it.

Costs me about £35 a week in petrol to get to work, and it's under 20 miles away. It isn't going to get any cheaper unless I get something cheaper to run, but the cost of doing that far outweighs the low mpg I currently get. It ain't going to get cheaper.

Are you confusing the new FAbia vRS with the Octavia vRS?

The new Fabia vRS uses a 1.2 and a 1.4 engine. The 1.4 engine has 180BHP of pulling power!

The Octavia is bigger, and thirstier.

So selling a car 'cos it's thirsty only to buy something peaky and twincharged?

Nope, I'm not confusing anything!

The manufacturers MPG is never anything like the real MPG. Plus, although it is a 1.4 engine, it is the TSi engine and it will drink it! I had a Seat Ibiza, 56 plate, also made by Volkswagen/Skoda/Seat/Audi...it was only about 100bhp and I only ever got about 38-40mpg on my "extra-urban"commute to work!
