I think that the DIS is acknowledged as being optimistic and I still consider that mine is the ultimate ‘real world test’: every single tankful recorded for over 10 years now and, although I have never had a steady 70mph on cruise for any distance, the best I’ve ever achieved is a little over 23mpg (usually being driven, perhaps, a little over 70mph  ) If anyone is OCD enough to want a copy of the spreadsheet......
