When I bought my car (10 years ago) and read reviews, a lot of them say here's what the epa said you'd get for mileage, and heres what we actually got. There is always a difference (maybe 10%). But if it claims 30 mpg and you are getting 17 , I like to think more than few people might notice.
Part of the reason VW was accused of cheating on emissions was it helped mileage.
edit: as pointed out, its 50% more fuel... But still a noticeable difference..
Fair enough.. But still a significant real world difference.
EPA (USA) tests aren't really real world and they don't just drive the cars. Well they drive them on a dyno on a preset pattern (see the picture in the link).
