See how unrealistic car fuel economy figures are, how they're changing & why it affects YOU! 

He couldn't help himself due to discount on a new car that he is about to buy.

I found them quite funny :-)

they should hire Stimpee to edit their vids

How do you do, fellow kids

Looks like a kid edited this for his senior project

oh man, dont be so up tight. Laugh for a second :D

Mat standing still for 7+ mins describing something important but bland would've had you whining about how you nearly fell asleep etc etc. Unbelievable whingers. Good video Mat, thanks.

words from my mouth

ഗേ..!

Anupam B.i.t.w you did not just type out 'gay' in Malayalam

siddhesh gandhi 😁

Anupam B.i.t.w the desire for mat is not borne of sexual orientation. Everyone needs more Mat in their life.

I like gunshot contact.

Just make sure the car's cold. You don't want to burn..... yourself

Aaron Roosing wow😂🚶🔫

What?? *looks innocent* He said he wants "physical contact" with the Audi LOL

Why, they are dick mobiles, driven by dicks in a dickish fashion.

Yeah, reminds me of Honest John videos. I don't think carwow's videos need the added clips.

KurlikS who gives a shit

Yeah, I agree. Going for that Donut Media style, but just completely falling flat. Stick to what you do best, carwow!

I like.

To keep the attention of kids with ADHD

It was okay until the football stadium then I was like hmm yeahh

Same for my old volvo C30. Its meant to get 38mpg overall and I do about 35 so not that far off.

trust me,cars from japan and korea have the most realistic figures. I have tiburon and it says 35-40mpg i am getting around 30-40 :D

Crude oil is sometimes known as black gold

you must be new on this place called The Earth. Fuel can be made from plants easily

Oil companies.

Ali RS It has already began lol

kize32 I know, not as fast as fossil fuels tho...

Yes! editing was so annoying, almost 8 minute video could have been condensed into 3 mins.

@carwow Dont listen to him! Cutaways are awesome so do please keep them. Huge Family guy fan over here.

Marush Denchev piss off Marush, Nuhan is right.

Shut up, Meg!

Yeah not up to their normal standard.

Rubbish. I had an M135i and I could never break 25mpg in town and that was with me accelerating pathetically slow and inciting many an angry overtake.

Michael Sundarev What does that even mean?

James Batchelor Actually accelerating slowly will give you worse fuel economy than accelerating "quickly". I don't mean you should floor it from a stand still but using 2/4 of the throttle and getting up to the speed limit and start to cruise is better than using 1/4 of the throttle and then cruise. Also something to note is that this is better in the long run, so if you're driving alot everyday then it will help you. Other things you could do to improve fuel economy is to: -skip gears when going up 1-2-4 or 1-2-3-5 -let go of the throttle when approaching a red light and let it roll as much as possible. Shift down when nessecery and try to keep the rpm above 1200-1300. Keeping it above will result in 0 gas being used but if it drops below 1200-1300 the car will automatically use gas to keep the engine running/not stalling -Try to always use the highway and avoid the city when driving as driving on the highway will result in less fuel being wasted because you're driving at a constant speed and you're not stopping and accelerating all the time as you would when driving in the city - I don't recommend doing this but driving behind a big truck on the highway really helps with fuel economy as driving behind a big truck will massively reduce air resistance/drag. So if you need 30% throttle to stay at 100km/h, you might only need 20%-15% throttle when you are driving behind the truck. And obviously the closer you're to the truck the more pronounced the effect will become. But as I said, this is not something I would recommend unless you're driving an Audi or BMW :)

James Batchelor : Yes 100% . The people poo pooing your claim don't know what their high power cars are capable of in terms of fuel economy , largely due to never really trying to get max mpg . In the 1980s i had a ford capri 3.0 v6 with poor fuel figures (15-18 mpg avg was common ) yet using Hypermiling tips i got regular 30+ mpg . I once got 40 mpg trying very hard . Today i have VW golf + 1.6 d with a combined figure 52 mpg (not blue motion ) i get avg 700-800 miles on 1 tank ( 57-61 mpg avg ) The most important thing to get good fuel ( especially a high power car ) is as you say very gentle on acceleration & reading the road well ahead will save a lot of fuel . At what cost ? In time saved in an average journey in the real world , next to no difference , with all the congestion it makes little difference how quick you take off from the lights you have to slow down just as quick .

I can beat the manufacturers figures in both my petrol and our diesel cars without holding up traffic. It's a matter of learning what the car likes, keeping the tyres pumped up and not dragging around a boot full of useless junk!

Yep. CARWOW should measure and present how much car computer lies about average consumption which is very easy to calculate.

@@gonzogepl4068 On a 4x4 I owed the computer used to tell me I was getting 40 mpg on several real calculations the actual mpg was closer to 34 when not towing a trailer

My car (Hyundai i10) says average 60.1mpg in the official stats and the trip computer says around 53mpg and my own calculations when filling up (using same pump as some fill much higher than others before cutting off) show I get around 50mpg in reality.

Our 1.9 JTS (159) did 23 mpg combined. The 500x we have now in comparison feels like it doesn't use any fuel :))

The Giulietta multiar is also very efficient. At 70 kph (44mph), the speed limit on national roads here in Italy, I achieve 69 mpg. 35mpg in the city though..

Gabriel Marcu a 500, oh how the mighty have fallen

:))) How about you? Will you trade it for the Giulia? Great car the 159 btw. Loved it. Cheers!

Currently on the 2018 Alfa Giulia 180bhp (2.2 diesel) Speciale, I get up to around 53mpg on a motorway run and around 37mpg on short city runs. These both include some "spirited" accelerations, but not flat out all the time, mainly sensible with the odd burst here and there. I haven't yet reset the trip to see what it would get after serious acceleration and no economical driving - will have to check!

Vladimir A 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wouldn’t be very proud of that

TheGreatSheikh I guess that was sarcasm

Diesel ?

Going down I've seen a few comments on volvos getting the rated, or close to the rated, fuel economy. I wonder if they do some different testing because my experiance has been similar too. My C30 is meant to get about 38 mpg and I get about 36 mpg.

With these ridiculous numbers, I'm thinking that the vehicle's curb weight will give a more realistic estimate.

you should never coast because its dangerous and it won't save you fuel. You also don't want to rev too low or you lug the engine making it use more fuel. Downhill is the best save though. Pick a high gear and take your foot off the accelerator and you will use no fuel going down hill at all because the ECU stops injecting fuel.

It would be incredibly low since its got a 1.0 litre petrol. Honestly if you plan to do 100mph get a more powerful car it will actually get better fuel economy.
