2008 Skoda Octavia Elegance: owner review

At the time of sale, the car returned a combined fuel consumption figure of 5.8L/100km, just shy of the 5.7 figure given by Skoda. The Octavia spent most of its time navigating the quiet streets of the Blue Mountains, which offers little in the way of stop/start driving. However, it was driven vigorously up steep and twisty mountain highways, doing little to negatively impact the efficiency. The car often returned 1000km from the 55L tank.
