A question on my Skoda Octavia's fuel economy...

Enjoyed the Skoda Octavia 1.5 Tec auto review. Just curious do you measure real world litres/100km versus official during your time with the car? I can’t see any reference in the piece. Just curious as I purchased one and while long motorway trips deliver 5.0 litres/100km, urban stop-start and suburban traffic means closer to 9.0 litres/100km or 30mpg in old money. Any information appreciated.

Kind regards

Are there EU tariffs on used Chinese imports?

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase an MG ZS electric car in the north and import to the south (Cork). The vehicle I'm looking at is a 2023 52kW version. Vehicle seems to meet all criteria (registered in NI, over six months old, over 6,000km, privately owned), but the dealer said he can’t export MGs because of EU tariffs.

Is this the case with all Chinese brands?

Thanks for your help.
