FOrd Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboosts are only averaging around 45mpg in Real MPG, while KIA Rio 1.1 CRDIs are averaging 60mpg. However, the Fiesta is more fun to drive.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
