Anyone thinking they're not getting what the manufacturer says - these tests are the same for all manufacturers, under the same conditions, they're not cheating.
What do you get in your current car? What is the urban, extra urban, or combined figure for your current car? If your current car is 30 combined, and you get 20, then don't expect to get 40 out of a car with 40mpg combined if you don't change the way you drive. You need to knock, in that example, one third off any car's combined mpg to see what you'll expect to be getting.

I get above the manufacturers figures and do for pretty much every car I've driven. However I've done advanced driving and economical driving courses. And I don't drive like a nun either - got 3 points for speeding 14 months ago :cool:

My car is supposed to get 48MPG combined. Mine is usually in the mid 50's and I've seen 70MPG. Wife gets about 48MPG when she drives it though...

No doubt on winter diesel as well?

The other figures sound about right for a car actually used on the road, coping with headwinds and gradients.

You must be about the only person who manages that.
