Why should anyone lie about the figures they achieve?

The only one I find difficult to believe is the guy that gets 42.7 mpg from his Omega on a motorway run. The best I EVER achieved from my 2.2 was 32mpg and that was cruising at 60mph for mile after mile after mile on a motorway with no passengers on board and an empty boot.

I'd love to know how he managed this sort of mpg.

Cheers!

Vic

The only way to get the correct MPG is to brim it run it around 300 miles's (or more) then brim it again and work it out. By the way my display shows 47 MPG with the caravan on the back - I was stopped at lights idling!!!

Excellent Towing vehicles Toyota Landcruisers may be, but economical they aren't. What's your MPG Scarletsfan?
