P.s. my car is serviced and maintained properly and tyres inflated to the correct pressure

You still doing that at weekends Jeff?

These figures are achieved on a dyno under ideal conditions; the real world is very different. Proposed new EU legislation is being considered to give buyers real world fuel consumption figures. Some of the hybrid eco cars will fall down the economy ranks and will show that small diesels are more economical.

The only way I would have got any where near that was if I was towed for the first 15-20 miles by another car lol

My IPK says ~32mpg but I don't etven believe that.

No way to get 40mpg methinks.

Best MPG is when being towed, just need to find somebody who will always tow my car; any offers.

It's not a 190 but it is perfectly possible to get my 2.5 auto 75 over the 40mpg mark if you are incredibaly disiplined with the loud pedal, I did this using the brim to brim some time ago on a trip to birmingham early (5am) on a sunday morning and straight back (210 round trip. sticking religously to 63mph. average for the trip was a fraction over 41mpg

I nearly died of bordem. Life is far to short! besides i normaly run on LPG and never worry about MPG, that is for diesel drivers.
