Perhaps they have a device that means you can never get the figures quoted in the lab environmentOriginally posted by DimPrawn View PostTalking of these wonder diesels, Fifth gear drove the Seat Leon 1.6 TDI 110 Ecomotive Technology. Seat say it will do nearly 90mpg. 90mpg! Mind blowing.
So they drove it round and Tiff Needel managed.......19 mpg. The weird young bloke who drives like your gran mother, managed..... 30 odd mpg.
Seat....VW group.....Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
