I was just surprised by the fact that even though I was doing a lot of motorway driving, I still wasn't really getting close to the suggested, combined mpg. I mean, how do they arrive at these figures - do they just drive in a straight line, without over revving or under revving? People go by these figures when considering buying a car, I think it's very misleading.
