The Octavia fuel consumption thread

[Mysticality]

My Octavia Scout Premium has just hit its 1 year birthday, and its at 7.14 l/100km average over the last year.

Things I have noticed when looking at the figures was what a difference different diesels actually made. It doesn't get good range out of Liberty, but does a heck of a lot better with BP, and Mobil ain't that far behind. Liberty was always around the 7.5s (it was my local one), BPs around 6.9s, and Mobil 7.1.

I find Vortex Premium does more harm than good... Lack of power and much worse economy.
BP Ultimate Diesel on the other hand is fantastic stuff!! Really works!!

I know all premium diesels are basically antifoam and not as strong smelling... But there really is something different about that BP Ult. Shame I've only ever found it in Brissy

Had the 90TSI about 2 weeks now and have done 1500kms - average according to the MFD - 6.2l/100. Pretty pleased as we live in a hilly palce so my 50kms a day trip averages a round 5.8 down and 6.8 back.

2 recent notable trips - 600kms return trip to Gippsland - averaged 5.4l measured by the fill up method and a decent mixed freeway/melbourne weekend and weeks station commuting was 6.0.
