I wouldn't say I was an economical driver really... I rev the balls off my car quite often. You have to rev it hard in order to get it to go anywhere moderately quickly, to be honest. I just try to keep an eye on what's going on quite a long way infront of me and don't take liberties - I only nail the throttle if I know I won't have to take my foot off it again in a hurry.

Anyways... Seeing as you asked... I get about 32mpg combined on average if I'm not pushing it. Which is just a touch under the combined ecconomy stated by Skoda. The lowest I've got from a tank was about 20mpg, and that was from a long weekend in Scotland... The country roads up there are fun
