Skoda Superb gets some high MPG figures low 60's i think
People will always think a small car will get better mpg, not always so as in real life conditions and the speeds that come with it they sometimes have to be ragged

Another lighter vw group car will get better mpg if it has the same engine.Skoda Superb gets some high MPG figures low 60's i think

Also the corolla and auris will likely be 5 speed being older and mpg is dependant on taking it very handy, any high speed driving will drastically affect mpg.
Kia ceed or i30 1.6 diesel def worth a shot. My mother has a 116hp i30 and itll do great mpg even when driven fast0 -

A Skoda Superb, even the Greenline model, will be nowhere near as fuel efficient as a smaller and lighter car.Skoda Superb gets some high MPG figures low 60's i think

My 2ltr TDI Golf averages about 55-60 MPG depending on how throttle happy i am this is a combined and if its primarily mortorway driving you can expect 70MPG unless your caning it, by contrast the other half drives a 1.3 Diesel Astra and we get about the same mileage combined but hers eats the stuff on the motorway because of the small engine....the golf is nicer though, not that im bais or anything lol

I think a lot of people with diesel cars are quoting a figure that they achieved "once" or "twice" on this thread. I've had a VW 1.9tdi and while it was quoted as doing 55mpg in the manual, the reality of doing 800 miles a week on a mix of national primary roads, mororways and secondary roads did not achieve that figure. Have had both a 1.6 tdi Skoda Octavia Greenline and a 1.6 VW Golf in recent months through work and when you spread them over 800 miles in the week, they will just about get 55 to the gallon.
yeh too many people just looking at their trip computers which are rarely right.
i have a 94 audi 80 tdi wagon, i fill the car to the brim, drive half the tank or so out of it and refill at the same place to the brim again, divide the litres into gallons and divide the gallons into the miles done, average 50-52mpg each week.
