Now here`s an interesting subject.As we all know,none of us can get anywhere near the official mpg that fraud suggest.Reason being the tests are done in labratories on rolling roads.There`s no hills,traffic,wind,cyclists,pedestrians,trucks nothing.I`ve just read a very interesting article in the Feb edition of Top Gear on page 50.Basically if the book says you get 50.4 in realtity you`ll get 40 maybe 42.Ok on a run on a motorway with no other traffic,no hill & perfect weather you might get close to the 50.4,maybe even better.But for combined,no chance.Even the gormless govenment will admit "mpg on road may differ from test results" (ok I`ve reworded that bit so`s not to be done for copyright),The Co2 readings are wrong too.for 104Co2 read 125Co2.
What hope is there for any of us.Anyway now you all know.
