Speaking for myself I think I know what the problem is - the catalogue says something about being measured under the ECE driving cycle, one third Urban and two thirds Extra-Urban, 90% full of fuel, one driver weighing 68KG and 7KG for luggage.

Obviously they've been keeping the driver off the wiener schnitzel then.... being polite, I can only assume the rest of you are driving around with your windows open...
