Although I applaud the intention of the 'Real MPG' figures - there is clearly no validation going on of the figures/submissions made.
I say this only because I thought I'd look at some figures for various cars etc.
The sample size of a few hundred for a Mitsi L200 pick up seemed to be OK - but then I thought I'd look at another possible 4WD I was looking at - an Infiniti EX 3.0D. How many people have even heard of this car I wonder?
Now here's my problem.
There are 44 THOUSAND submissions to the 'Real MPG' site for this car - confirming the manufacturers figures are almost eactly correct - given that there's only about 200 of these in the UK - who has made all the entries? A spamming loop from India I presume?
Come on John - it can't be 'Honest' if it's this easy to manipulate your figures!
