The Real Life Fuel Economy Register 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 averageself-adjusts to reflect it. This can then be directly compared to the claimed EC figure.

Find out why you're unlikely to match the official quoted figure.
