I never pay attention to fuel consumption figures as they have never represented reality in my case. My current Mercedes has an official rating of 40mpg, but I never get that out of it unless I literally sit at 55mph on a flat motorway and never change speed (impossible in the UK). Some journeys I go as low as 19mpg when it's driven as it's meant to be. All the Vauxhalls I had before were the same.

- eveningcoffee 11y agoThis report does not include fuel consumption data - only emissions data (CO2 g/km). While they speak about fuel consumption and even speculate with numbers, this is not backed up by the data.
