Fuel consumption

How official and on-road fuel use is separated.

WLTP or manufacturer combined consumption remains an official figure.

On-road consumption is labelled Carboratory-tested only when the article records the route or speed, and the trip-computer or measured fuel use from that drive.

Imported test-drive narratives that quote a driver’s trip computer are editorial observations from that drive, not a Carboratory laboratory protocol, unless the article says otherwise.
