| Re: Fuel Consumption With Fabia VRS-4 Days Old I found my fuel economy increased as the car ran in, seeming to get better and better, up to about 10k, then it settled down

| Re: Fuel Consumption With Fabia VRS-4 Days Old i agree with the above , don't go screwing it until its run in and the consumption figures will get better the more miles are put on the engine , unless you have a permanantly heavy foot
