Hows this for good fuel consumption, doing 90-95mph with air con on. 54.9mpg over 78 miles.
That works out to about 550-600 miles a tank.
Shame its a vw bora tdi 150. Took the scoob on the same trip last week and used 3/4 tank there and back at the same speed. Not very good.

How's this for good load-carrying capacity. I had six tons of chilled chicken in the back, and could easily deliver it due to the hydraulic tail-lift. Shame it was a Bedford.

After all, everyone buys a scoob for the fuel consumption.

And the two cars are just so comparable

I know nobody buys a scoob for the wonderful fuel consumption. Just with the recent threads it just seemed of interest.
And even I was surprised at that sort of figure for mpg.
