It isn't reasonable to assess this on the number of publications that
say one thing vs. the other. The writers of articles for all of
them are open to question and in most spheres rely on information that
the manufacturer feeds them. This is certainly true in the IT world
and must be in the motor world as well because most writers for IT
magazines write for bike and car magazines the rest of their time.

Autocar of course quote
the official fuel consumption

.....and then frig the test. No one remotely gets anywhere them in mpg.
Crooks the lot of them.
