Disagree

The newer the car, the better the manufacturers have got at setting the cars up to reduce CO2 emissions in a controlled test, real life consumption bears little comparison to claimed mpg of the newest cars.

I doubt there is much real difference between a brand new car and a 5 year old, maybe 1-2 mpg
