Once again, and repeat it 10 times now, Autocar got 55mpg in central

There, there.


And I got 999.9 mpg coming down Snake Pass.


Over the *whole* journey I got 22mpg.


If you have the misfortune to read much of Drivel's rubbish over the
years, a pattern emerges. He never gives average or worst case results -
or even a possible spread. Everything has to be the very highest result to
back up his half baked theories. And usually from exaggerated adverts, or
totally out of context. Like the 55 mpg from the Prius in London. Hence
you get combis that 'fill' a bath quickly. But the bath is tiny and the
water tepid. You get boilers with more than 100% efficiency. You get snake
oil products like magnetic water softeners that work.

The list is near endless.

IMM was a better title. From a fantasy world.
