That's interesting. Thank you. Helps to get the message across that giving it some beans gobbles fuel, even in small-engined cars. However, because the maximum speeds of these cars varies so much, a better comparison would have been fuel economy at 90mph in a variety of different cars. Then they might have seen cars like the Jaguar XJL 3.0 V6 diesel beating cars like the Yaris 1.33.
