skodanut

well i finally got back from france having completed 1600 miles with 5 ppl and a boot crammed full with clothes and a top box crammed full with even more clothes!!
have to admit....i didnt use the 6th gear, as i didnt want the dpf light appearing all those miles away from ole blighty.
so we cruised in 5th at 70mph and fully laden, we averaged 49.5 to the gallon.......personally i was rather impressed as i reconned on around 38 on a long run.
no issues at all, cept the usual top up fluids and the expensive 5w-30 oil . but as luck would have it......called in a large eleclerc store nr st crox-de-vie and bought exactly the same oil that skoda dealers sell for 34 euros for 5ltrs......is that good? must be as one
litre costs around 12 quid...so i reconned 5ltrs would be around the 50 quid mark.
what made journey effortless was the power and the cruise control and room for the kids in the back.....although i feel we did slightly overload the superb....it was perfect regarding handling.....performance......ecconomy....and the fact i stuck a 170 badge on the boot gave the french skoda drivers something to think about....will take some pics soon and show on here......keep on superbing!!
