You mention in the current stats that newer cars fair worse on fuel economy compared to official figures - do you have the average drop for newer models from 2008?

Legitimate question. You can clearly see on the full stats but I'm not prepared to release them to an individual enquirer.
Breakdowns appear on the site: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/
The only cars that achieved over 100% were all older models except for the Honda Civic Type R from 2007. The biggest variations of 71% to 76% are all new models except for the 2005 Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
