    I thought initiatives like WLTP were designed to harmonise test results across all manufacturers?

    Whilst it’s understood that real-world driving will mean WLTP figures are better than can be expected in reality, at least the playing field is level?

    Let’s be honest, no-one here has bought a car that says it does 65mpg and been surprised reality is closer to 45mpg, have they?  And yes, I know there are worse examples but that quoted 65mpg is only achievable if you live on perfectly flat ground, where there’s no wind or rain, you don’t have a heavy right foot and can continually drive at 56mph everywhere.
