Snapshot #9: Class matters when it comes to MPG

car-class.jpg

We looked at our data on over 750 EU cars tested, to see how much of an influence vehicle class was on variance between the NEDC-derived official MPG and our cycle and found:

  • Petrol sports cars come closest to their official figures

  • The MPG gap is worse for small cars, whatever the fuel

  • Overall the gap is almost always bigger for diesel engines.
