Hyundai and Kia Motors shares have dipped as the firms admitted they had overstated the fuel efficiency of some of their vehicles and said they would compensate US consumers.

I recall quite a few owners complaining that the i10/30 were not achieved what they expected. This could explain it!

What about UK consumers?

Do European and US methods of calculating the stated figure agree? If so, then maybe, if not then no.

European rules for stating fuel consumption are ludicrous and a long way from reality but are 'official'. If a manufacturer complies and states the figures correctly then there is no come-back for a buyer.
