Happy returns
May I celebrate my Polo 1.9D's tenth birthday by reporting 57,773 miles on 892 gallons, or 64.7 mpg, mainly on short journeys, travelling as fast as is legal or safe? There is a consistent 6mpg difference between summer peak and winter low.

I get that too with my FIAT 500 1.2 petrol. 55-56 in the summer. 48-49 in the winter. You are doing almost as well as our real life fuel economy register average for a new VW Polo 1.2 Bluemotion, which shows 66.5mpg. (www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg)

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
