UKCAR quotes 3 MPG figures where we can get them as we all know very few cars will ever manage to reach their official figures.
EEC URBAN and ULTRA URBAN - are broadly similar to to old DOT Urban and Cruise figures - The EEC combined figure is some computation based upon the URBAN and Extra Urban Figures, but we don't know the formula.
The figure you achieve will depend wholly upon your style of driving and the prevailing traffic conditions.
All figure are Imperial Miles per Imperial Gallon.
