| I think if they look a bit deeper into this, I expect they will find that most of these motor manufacturers are not quite as truthful on their fuel consumption figures as they could be.My Landrover Freelander 2, 2.2 diesel was quoted as getting 42.2 mpg.I found that if I drove it really carefully, no rapid acceleration or hard braking etc, then I might, just might get 20mpg.Driving normally around town would get about 18mpg.This was a new, low mileage vehicle that had been kept properly serviced.Not some 30 year old smokey shed of a car.There is no way that car would ever do 30mpg, let alone 42.2 |
