GTE
Biano44:
Update.
This must be considered when purchasing a GTE!
The salesman took the car to Manchester (from Loughborough) yesterday and returned this morning.
He left with a full charge, charged it on the way but not while there and not on the return journey.
This is the result.........

Would've been better mpg in a real GTI

He has probably hammered it, I could have beaten that MPG in my Ed30 without even trying. GTE can definetly do much better than that

If you drive a hybrid according to the guidelines, they do more than that but this isn't the first case of hybrid technology under performing against the suggested economy figures pushed out to the presses. Take the BMW i8 as another example.
Still, I'm sure people never though metal boxes that contain flammable liquids and rely on explosions to work would take off and that the horse would always be the way of moving around the country...

He took it steady on the way up, came back early this morning, above legal limits but I still feel that this is a better representation of real world figures. If you just drove round town and had plenty of charge you would get much better mpg. But driving from city to city as I often do for work without chargingwill result in low mpg.
