This is how much your car REALLY does to the gallon: What Car?'s new true MPG test finds current fuel economy claims exaggerate by 30%

Realistic test finds one car is 37.8% off the claimed miles per gallon claim

Vauxhall Astra 1.6-litre diesel is the most efficient car tested so far

But it's still 32.2% shy of the 83.1mpg Vauxhall tells you it will do

Separate test also finds a 30% difference in achievable fuel economy

An Aston Martin was the only car in the last 2 years to better its mpg claim

No hy car in table yet but a few Kia's

Thanks. That's interesting about the new Hybrid Kia Nero.. burning more fuel than it is supposed to. Sister car to the up coming Hyundai Iconiq ... :undecided:
