Honda claims best real MPG
The Best Real MPG Performer award is new for 2015 and demonstrates the rising trend among consumers for increased efficiency and fuel economy as a priority in the decisionmaking process when buying a new car. The award is based on real-world fuel consumption data submitted by thousands of drivers.
Dan Harrison, editor at HonestJohn, said: “When it comes to real-world fuel economy, no other car comes close to the Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC.
According to Real MPG submissions for the past year, the Civic Tourer diesel achieves an impressive 93% of its official economy rating, with a real world average of 68mpg (4.1l/100km).”
Emmet Kavanagh, marketing manager at Universal Honda, said that Honda’s 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine has been winning many awards for the real-world fuel efficiency which it offers.
“We are particularly pleased to win this award as it is based on real-world consumption feedback from drivers, showing exactly what they are getting from their cars and proving how fuel efficient our cars are for our customers. It is a fantastic recognition of the capabilities and efficiency of both the Civic and the 1.6 litre diesel engine.”
