So many variables, but we still read across the forums, magazines, etc., "my car doesn't get the mpg the manufacturer states....", as if there is one rate of consumption.
I still come across folks who don't grasp electrical load uses fuel.

Yes, again on one of my driving audits, the driver had this habit of prodding the accelerator pedal, even on the motorway at 'constant' speeds you could feel he was on-off-on-off constantly. He happened to drive a BMW 3 325i and you could see the eco gauge flapping about in time with his foot prods. No doubt he was in the "My car doesn't get the manufacturers figures...is there something wrong with it" group.
