Lying Cars (Dash vs Reality)
Discussion
My company car claims on the dashboard that it is averaging around 55mpg, and has said approximately this since I got it earlier in the year.
I thought though it would be good to just check what it actually is doing to see its accuracy. I presumed a slight variance may happen of a couple mpg. Reality is the car averages betweeen 46 and 47 mpg. That's a difference of over 10%! I guess I was naive to think that the car would be able to produce a genuine figure? Are lots of manufacturers playing this game as well, fooling their buyers into thinking the car is doing better than it really is?
