My vehicle is not producing the same fuel consumption figures as stated in the manufacturers brochure what should I do?
Fuel consumption figures are produced per regulatory requirements by vehicle manufacturers to give consumers an indication of fuel consumption between different vehicle makes and models. They are not indicative of the precise mileage which the vehicle will achieve on the road. The fuel consumption figures are obtained under highly controlled conditions to ensure uniformity across all tested vehicles. These conditions do not take into account real world factors which will affect the fuel consumption. Factors such as the weight the vehicle is carrying, driving style and extra feature use such as air conditioning will all affect the real world figure a vehicle achieves.
