The Å koda Octavia 2.0 FSI Reaches Average Consumption of 4.9 litres in Testing Review

The new Å koda Octavia powered by a 2.0 FSI petrol engine has reached an average consumption level of 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres during a 24-hour consumption test performed by Å koda Auto in association with the Autosalon TV Prima TV motor show and the company Shell.

Twelve two-man crews mostly made up of motoring media representatives along with TV Prima celebrities shared a drive in the Octavia. The test runs took place in normal traffic conditions in the vicinity of Prague, on a 103.9-km-long circuit with a highway section covering one third, and primary and secondary roads covering two thirds of the circuit; some segments included passage through villages and towns.
The journalists covered a total of 1,248 kilometres driving the Octavia during the testing. The crews had to cope with adverse weather conditions, heavy rain and also a hailstorm while driving at night. All the same, seven crews could boast about consumption of less than five litres per 100 kilometres at the finish.

It was a crew of Miroslav Hájek, an MF Dnes daily editor, and Zdeněk Mahdal, a TV Prima anchorman, that reached the lowest level of consumption during the test – 4.2 litres per 100 kilometres.

The new 1.6 FSI/85 kW and 2.0 FSI/110 kW petrol engines used for the Å koda Octavia cars feature very progressive technology developed by the Volkswagen Group. Given the applied fuel stratified injection technology and high heat efficiency, the engines make it possible for extremely weak fuel mixture to be combusted in certain modes of operation. By contrast with conventional petrol engines, the FSI engines show a more favourable level of consumption. Other advantages include a low level of emissions (the engines meet the EU4 standard), a high power output and a favourable torque characteristic. Thanks to a sophisticated electronic sensor system, these engines make it possible for 95-98 octane value petrol to be combusted effectively.
