How Representative of Real Life Driving are the Standard Tests |
Cymraeg  |
Because of the need to maintain strict comparability of results achieved
by the standard tests they cannot be fully representative of
real life driving conditions.
Firstly, it is obviously not practicable to test each individual new car; thus
only one production car is tested as being representative of the model and may
therefore produce a better or worse result than another similar vehicle. Secondly,
there are infinite variations in driving styles and in road, car and weather
conditions, all of which can have a bearing on the results achieved. For
these reasons the fuel consumption achieved on the road will not necessarily
be the same as the official test results.
