[QUOTE="DACMan1, post: 911612, member: 112"] What trompie said about standardized fuel consumption figures. For instance, the acceleration test is based on acceleration that can be done by all vehicles, including trucks. With regards to the acceleration of 70kW vs 92kW - kW and acceleration do not need to be correlated. A more realistic way would be to measure the areas under the power curve (although still not entirely representative). Also, car manufacturers might advertise a lower kW figure for reasons pertaining to regulations - it might mean paying less tax. VW for instance might deliver a lot more power for short times, like accelerating by overboosting. [/QUOTE]
