It's easy to make a high consumption car win in economy trials where the % better than official figures wins, in fact the less economical the car is normally, the easier it is to win, just drive economically and switch off at every opportunity. It's the switching off that really pays the dividend.

Note the overall economy is only 30mpg (imp)
averaging 30.96 mpg over the trip's two-day, 411-mile route. That mark represents an improvement of 61.26-percent over the Z06's official European combined mileage figures and is a new record for the MPG Marathon
