So this is not an exercise in saving money and if you're driving around at 50 to get 70 to the gallon then in my book that's a false positive.
The point about this car and the thing that really impresses is the ability to do 70 or 80 and get late fifties to early sixties to the gallon. Example is my trip to Scotland this weekend all motorway current obc average 64.5 real average 61.7 mpg. This is easy to achieve and is the only sort of figure the reader should be believing. I think it's disingenuous and misleading to say otherwise because is never going to happen in real life
Pet peeve of mine.

Agreed. I've just visited scotland - done nearly 1480 miles in 4 days with an avg of 61-62 mpg. Filled the tank twice. Used Comfort and Sport most of the time and cruise control in eco mode. Never put my foot away from the accltr
