If you were definitively told "It will do 40mpg" and it only does 20mpg, yes. If you were told "The official figure is 40mpg" and it only does 20mpg, no. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/ for what everything really does.
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.
