Default TFL Retests Fuel Economy of 2.3 EB Ranger



Basically, at 70 mph or roughly 110 kph for 98miles, trip meter said 25.8 mpg (9.2 litres/100 km)
wile actual miles divided by actual fuel was still 21.36 mpg (11 litres/100 km).

I have to ask if they did the run at 60 mph (100 kph) would fuel economy be a lot better.


The actual highway test loop used for official figures is done on a loaded dyno
using the following speed profile that;s far from steady state.



It never gets to 70 mph in any part of the test...
