For a 1.6 tdci the figures state 70mpg, and i'm getting 55mpg with a feather foot, 70% out of town and the remainder in town.
Previous cards were
- WV touran 1.9 tdi officially 49.9mpg, personal experience was 50.5mpg.
- Peugeot Partner Teepee 1.6 HDI Outdoor - officially 49.5 mpg, still have car and currently averaging 49.5 mpg
- Ford c-max (2006) 1.6 tdci 90 lx - averaged 54.5mpg (replaced with bmax)
Are fords figures so far out that they are inflating them to look special ?
Having driven a 2ltr GT Golf for a week, this was looking much moreeconomicalin real world conditions - much better than the official figures.
Was a fan of the c-max (fantasticreliability, good mpg, ride etc) , and although the b-max titanium has lots of toys, it concerns me that Ford can get away with giving out misleading information as a way to gain sales.
What's anyone else seeing, or should I that all of a suddenmanufacturers figures bear noresemblanceto reality... ?
I'm thinking i'll be looking at amanufacturerwho is more honest with my next purchase....
