MPG

Good stuff for the anoraks to digest here ! OK So what if I am ?

Two points.... those who don't care about the cost, lucky you, but remember we are talking fossil fuels here.

The other is , how do some people get such huge mileages when towing ? I guess you must be the ones bringing vanners into disrepute by clogging the major highways traveling at 40mph.

The Skoda Octavia is an excellent tow car and give a good mpg.

Now! being a 4x4 driver (a**ehole as we are branded) they are not a cheap option to buy or run so I have given up worrying about cost or fossil fuel. Just want to enjoy it and the towing safety that it returns.
