MPG figures on the list of best MPG cars above are a combination of official figures MPG and MPG actual figures estimated by Next Green Car.
The official MPG numbers come from the new EU directive NEDC cycle Performed on a rolling road, these official tests are used for certification of emissions from light commercial vehicles in Europe, and whose fuel economy figures are calculated rather than measured official tests generate the familiar urban, extra-urban and combined official figures.
Urban - reflects city driving with lower speeds, often breaking stop-start and higher ratios obtained in the figure below MPG.
Extra-urban - a motorway driving mirror driving on national roads - higher speeds, stop and lower the few reports where the value is greater than the Urban or combined.
Combined - is an average urban test numbers and extra-urban weighted to reflect the miles driven in each.
In fact, drivers are finding it very difficult if not impossible to achieve these MPG figures as the NEDC test is conducted under very specific conditions and does not reflect the real world what it should be considered as a comparative figure, rather than an absolute number.
To provide a more realistic number, Next Green Car calculated an actual figure of MPG for every 50,000 models in the database This figure is based on research on the actual performance at the model involves the use of correction factors depending on the fuel type and year See page Real MPG for more information.
