Having read that Tristan Young’s wife achieved better fuel economy in BusinessCar’s long-term Skoda Superb than he did, the competitor in me compared my wife’s mpg figures with mine. Look away now, fellas, it ain’t good.
She’s recently set a new high of 54.2mpg for a trip to Lincolnshire and back, eclipsing the previous best
long-distance run of 49.9mpg, set by (male) editor Barker. As a result, the car is now averaging 41.4mpg, exactly what KwikCarcost predicts, but way below Kia‘s claimed 54.3mpg. My best is a mere 44.5mpg. Gutted.
Anyway, let’s give it up for the ladies.
