How far will a car realistically go on a full tank of fuel? Most car owners will know it isn’t as far as manufacturers lead to you believe in their advertising.
Some car manufacturers – in the wake of 2015’s ‘dieselgate’ scandal, and pre-empting the introduction of a revised testing process for vehicles – have already begun to publish their own ‘real world’ fuel consumption figures to help manage customer expectations.
Some consumer automotive publications have introduced their own alternatives to official figures, with one, HonestJohn.co.uk, giving owners the chance to input their own fuel economy to database that then returns an average for individual models.
