[QUOTE="JayMac, post: 879882, member: 14256"] Two useful Car articles to help you: If you like formulae: http://www.carmag.co.za/technical-blog/claimed-vs-real-fuel-consumption/ If you don't: http://www.carmag.co.za/magazine-issues/november-2015/ Quote: "Representative fuel economy is the reason CAR magazine does its own fuel run for every vehicle we test. The route is 100 km long and contains a mix of urban and highway driving. For vehicles we haven?t tested, we quote the CAR fuel index figure, which is the manufacturer?s claimed figure plus an extra [b]20%[/b]. " If you can't get hold of a copy of the actual test, I would suggest that you add 25% or 30% instead of 20% to get a more realistic 'estimate' for real world usage. This is my approximation to take into account 1. greater traffic congestion nowadays 2. Generally less patience of the average driver. Of course, one of the most significant variables is between our ears, for example the way I drive compared to the way you drive! Cheers, JayJay [/QUOTE]
