    I like to have my opinion (like it or not) but I don't like being called an idiot for having it

    Diseasex - don't provoke him.

    I can guarantee they can take a model of that car and get the 90 mpg they claim - the problem is yours for not driving as economically as they did during the official tests.
    All i'm saying really is if they are rigging tests in a way that : if (isTest) then (reduceEmissions())
    that might also be if (isTest) then (reduceConsumption()). So screw their tests really...
    And i'm driving VERY economically.

    Either way , hopefully they will target this problem finally, just saying.

    90mpg @ 20000 miles = 1099
    so Seat / VW ripped me off on £625.
